EFFECT OF A TRACKING PROGRAM ON COLON ADENOMA SURVEILLANCE AND ADHERENCE TO GUIDELINE RECOMMENDATIONS - Full Text View

Purpose

This will be a retrospective chart review of 500 patients who had a colonoscopy and were found to have a tubular adenoma between the years of 2004-2010. We will compare the rate and timing of completion of repeat colonoscopies pre and post establishment of a polyp registry (tracking system) in 2007. Each group will be composed of 250 subjects consecutively identified from all the patients who underwent colonoscopy and were found to have a tubular adenoma (Group 1-2004 to 2007, Group 2 2007-2010).

Primary Outcome Measures:

Percentage completing follow up colonoscopy [ Time Frame: 12 months ]
A polyp tracking program (registry) decreases the amount of patients lost to follow up.

Estimated Enrollment:	500
Study Start Date:	August 2012
Estimated Study Completion Date:	March 2013
Estimated Primary Completion Date:	December 2012 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)

Groups/Cohorts
post-registry Registry Group: Select 250 consecutive patients from the polyp registry who were found to have a tubular adenoma on a colonoscopy done between 2007-2010 from the polyp registry. Quantify the completion rate and time between index and surveillance colonoscopy after the establishment of the polyp surveillance program (2007-2010).
pre-registry Pre-registry Group: Select 250 consecutive patients who were found to have a tubular adenoma on a colonoscopy done between April 2004-2007.
