Calculating Adenoma Detection Rates

Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, the speaker discusses the guidelines for calculating adenoma detection rate (ADR) in colonoscopies. The current benchmarks for ADR were set before colonoscopies were recommended for average risk screening at the age of 45. The speaker suggests that ADR should be measured based on people aged 50 and older. However, as more people get screened at a younger age, new benchmarks may be established. Some experts believe that the current benchmarks may be too low and aspire to achieve higher ADR percentages, such as 30-35%. The speaker also mentions the potential role of AI in improving ADR by identifying small adenomas. No credits were mentioned.
