Table 1 Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for high-quality Colonoscopy
From: Improving generalization of polyp detection via conditional StyleGAN augmented training
Indicator | Definition | Recommended Benchmark |
|---|---|---|
Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR) | The proportion of screening colonoscopies performed for individuals aged 45 years or older in which at least one conventional adenoma is detected. | ≥30% in males ≥20% in females |
Average Withdrawal Time | The average time spent carefully inspecting the colonic mucosa during withdrawal of the colonoscope in screening examinations that are negative for polyps. | ≥6 minutes77 |
Cecal Intubation Rate | The percentage of screening colonoscopies in which the colonoscope tip reaches the cecum, confirmed by photographic documentation of landmarks. | ≥95% |
Bowel Preparation Quality | The proportion of outpatient colonoscopies where the bowel cleansing is adequate to reliably detect polyps >5 mm, often assessed using a validated scale (e.g., Boston Bowel Preparation Scale). | Adequate prep in ≥85% of procedures78 |
