Video Transcription
Is there an official guideline to exclude age less than 50 for calculation of adenoma detection rate? Yeah, so the benchmarks for adenoma detection rate were really defined before the era when we start doing colonoscopy at 45 for average risk screening. So all the numbers that we might have in terms of what our targets are, 25% overall, 30% in men, those targets are all based on people 50 and older having average risk screening colonoscopy. So that's really the way we should be measuring adenoma detection rate in our practices. Do you see that age for ADR moving downwards to the 45 and over eventually? Yeah, I mean, I think as we have time, time on the slope, so to speak, with people getting screened, we probably will have some new benchmarks. I think a lot of people are looking at the benchmarks that we have currently and saying maybe they might be a little bit low. So they're talking about aspirational goals of higher 30, 35%. You know, we certainly see, I mean, you showed data from Duke and we have data in our practice. There's some people who find adenomas in 60% of their screening colonoscopies, it's kind of mind boggling. Some people are just really good at finding these. And I think as we develop, as the AI starts making its way into our practice, we're going to be finding more and more of those, particularly the small adenomas. So I think the numbers may move up over time.
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.
