Predictors of post-colonoscopy emergency department use

Unplanned hospital visits within 7 days of colonoscopy was recently proposed as a quality measure. It is unknown if patient, procedure, or endoscopist characteristics predict post-colonoscopy emergency department (ED) visits. Our aim was to determine the incidence and relatedness of ED visits within 7 days of colonoscopy, and to identify predictors of post-colonoscopy ED use.
