Response:

We would like to thank Dr Yarze1 for his interest in our study "Predictors of post-colonoscopy emergency department use"2 and his response. In our study, we aimed to determine the frequency, reasons, and relatedness of post-colonoscopy emergency department (ED) visits and to assess for predictors of these visits. We found increased patient complexity, higher endoscopist adenoma detection rates, and EMR to be predictors of unplanned hospital use after colonoscopy. Although post-procedure calls were not assessed in our study, we agree with Dr Yarze that ED use can certainly be influenced by the handling of post-procedure calls.
