Abstract EN
This paper aimed to assess quality of colonoscopy reports and determine if physicians in practice were already documenting recommended quality indicators, prior to the publication of a standardized Colonoscopy Reporting and Data System (CO-RADS) in 2007.
We examined 110 colonoscopy reports from 2005-2006 through Maryland Colorectal Cancer Screening Program.
We evaluated 25 key data elements recommended by CO-RADS, including procedure indications, risk/comorbidity assessments, procedure technical descriptions, colonoscopy findings, specimen retrieval/pathology.
Among 110 reports, 73% documented the bowel preparation quality and 82% documented specific cecal landmarks.
For the 177 individual polyps identified, information on size and morphology was documented for 87% and 53%, respectively.
Colonoscopy reporting varied considerately in the pre-CO-RADS period.
The absence of key data elements may impact the ability to make recommendations for recall intervals.
This paper provides baseline data to assess if CO-RADS has an impact on reporting and how best to improve the quality of reporting.
