Temporal trends in postcolonoscopy colorectal cancer rates in screen-eligible persons: a population-based study

Colorectal cancers (CRCs) diagnosed between 6 and 36 months after colonoscopy, termed postcolonoscopy CRCs (PCCRCs), arise primarily due to missed or inadequately treated neoplasms during colonoscopy. Quality indicators and technological advances have been introduced to colonoscopy practice that should have reduced the PCCRC rate over time. We assessed temporal trends in the population rate of PCCRC as a measure of changing colonoscopy quality.
