Background: The significance of () infection and atrophic gastritis (AG) in the prevalence of colorectal adenomas has been examined in a limited number of studies. However, these studies reported disputed conclusions.
Aim: To investigate whether infection, AG, and -related AG increase the risk of colorectal adenomas.
Methods: This retrospective cross-sectional study included 6018 health-check individuals. The relevant data for physical examination, laboratory testing, C-urea breath testing, gastroscopy, colonoscopy and histopathological examination of gastric and colorectal biopsies were recorded. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine the association between -related AG and colorectal adenomas.
Results: Overall, 1012 subjects (16.8%) were diagnosed with colorectal adenomas, of whom 143 (2.4%) had advanced adenomas. Among the enrolled patients, the prevalence of infection and AG was observed as 49.5% (2981/6018) and 10.0% (602/6018), respectively. Subjects with infection had an elevated risk of colorectal adenomas (adjusted odds ratio [OR] of 1.220, 95% confidence interval (CI): 1.053-1.413, = 0.008) but no increased risk of advance adenomas (adjusted OR = 1.303, 95%CI: 0.922-1.842, = 0.134). AG was significantly correlated to an increased risk of colorectal adenomas (unadjusted OR = 1.668, 95%CI: 1.352-2.059, < 0.001; adjusted OR = 1.237, 95%CI: 0.988-1.549, = 0.064). infection accompanied by AG was significantly associated with an increased risk of adenomas (adjusted OR = 1.491, 95%CI: 1.103-2.015, = 0.009) and advanced adenomas (adjusted OR = 1.910, 95%CI: 1.022-3.572, = 0.043).
Conclusion: -related AG was associated with a high risk of colorectal adenomas and advanced adenomas in Chinese individuals.

Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) risk models routinely adjust for endoscopic screening because of a) possible confounding with other risk factors and b) possible alteration of natural history of the disease due to adenoma detection and removal.
Methods: In this study, we defined a subject as screen-covered (SC) if a colonoscopy was performed in the past 10 years, and not screen-covered (NSC) otherwise. We created CRC risk models separately for SC and NSC subjects (HRSC, HRNSC) and then obtained a screening-coverage adjusted HR estimate (HRfull) based on a weighted average of ln(HRSC) and ln(HRNSC) with weight equal to the proportion of SC person-time in the NHS population.

Objective: The diagnosis of precancerous lesions of colorectal cancer (CRC) presents significant challenges in clinical practice. In this study, we conducted a clinical investigation using the UCAD technique after analyzing chromosomal copy number variations (CNVs) in formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples from various pathological stages, aiming to evaluate the value of detecting chromosomal instability (CIN) in CRC diagnosis.
Methods: Based on colonoscopic pathological findings, we selected 39 FFPE specimens of tubular adenomas, 8 FFPE specimens of villous adenomas, 16 cases diagnosed as tubular-villous adenomas, and 14 cases without defined pathological subtype classification.

Background And Aims: Colonoscopy is the gold standard screening modality for colorectal cancer; however, it is operator-dependent and reliant on exam quality. Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into colonoscopy may improve adenoma detection and clinical outcomes, but this is a sociotechnical challenge that requires effective human-AI teaming incorporating provider attitudes.
Methods: We conducted a systematic review of studies evaluating attitudes and perspectives of providers toward AI-assisted colonoscopy.

Background: Guidelines recommend leaving in situ rectosigmoid polyps diagnosed during colonoscopy that are 5 mm or smaller if the endoscopist optically predicts them to be non-neoplastic. However, no randomised controlled trial has been done to examine the efficacy and safety of this strategy.
Methods: This open-label, multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial enrolled adults age 18 years or older undergoing colonoscopy for screening, surveillance, or clinical indications across four Italian centres.
