Researchers at Cairo University Report Research in Colonic Polyps (Real-life experience of colonic polyps' detection rate and adenoma detection rate with their characteristics in a cohort of Egyptian patients).

A study conducted by researchers at Cairo University aimed to determine the prevalence of colonic polyps among Egyptian patients aged 50 years and older who underwent colonoscopy. The study found that the polyp detection rate was 23.1% and the adenoma detection rate was 14.7%. The most important predictors of adenoma were age 65 years, diabetes, and the presence of a polyp in the right colon. The researchers concluded that the polyp detection rate and adenoma detection rate among the Egyptian population are in line with the target set by the ASGE, and they recommend these rates as key quality indicators of colonoscopy quality.
