Abstract

AIM: To present a simple colonoscopy reporting system that can be checked easily the detection rate of colon polyps.

METHODS: A simple colonoscopy reporting system Kosin Gastroenterology (KG quality reporting system) was developed. The polyp detection rate (PDR), adenoma detection rate (ADR), serrated polyp detection rate (SDR), and advanced adenoma detection rate (AADR) are easily calculated to use this system.

RESULTS: In our gastroenterology center, the PDR, ADR, SDR, and AADR test results from each gastroenterologist were updated, every month. Between June 2014, when the program was started, and December 2014, the overall PDR and ADR in our center were 62.5% and 41.4%, respectively. And the overall SDR and AADR were 7.5% and 12.1%, respectively.

CONCLUSION: We envision that KG quality reporting system can be applied to develop a comprehensive system to check colon polyp detection rates in other gastroenterology centers.

Keywords: Colon polyp; Detection rate; Reporting system

Core tip: Detecting the rate of colon polyps, such as the adenoma detection rate is an important quality indicator during colonoscopy exams. However, reporting the detection rate in daily practice is not easy because manual reporting requires a lot of time and effort. To our knowledge, reporting systems for detecting the rate of colon polyps are rare. We developed a simple colonoscopy reporting system that can be checked easily the detection rate of colon polyps. We envision our system can be applied to develop an optimal system for assessing the detection rate of colon polyps in other gastroenterology centers.
