Current recommendations for colonoscopy screening programs usually involve patients older than 50 years of age. However, little is known about polyp or adenoma detection rates under 50. We compared these detection rates according to age in a large series of patients in common practice. Methods: All colonoscopies performed in 2016 in our unit were prospectively recorded. We determined adenoma detection rate (ADR), polyp detection rate (PDR), mean number of polyps (MNP), and advanced neoplasia detection rate (ANDR).
