Assessing Colon Polypectomy Competency and its Association with Established Quality Metrics

Inadequate polypectomy leads to incomplete resection, interval colorectal cancer, and adverse events. However, polypectomy competency is rarely reported and quality metrics are lacking. The primary aims of this study were to (1) assess polypectomy competency among a cohort of gastroenterologists, and (2) measure the correlation between polypectomy competency and established colonoscopy quality metrics (adenoma detection rate [ADR] and withdrawal time [WT]).
