Article Abstract
Introduction: Screening-related colonoscopy is a vital component of screening initiatives to both diagnose and prevent colorectal cancer (CRC), with prevention being reliant upon early and accurate detection of pre-malignant lesions. Several strategies, techniques, and interventions exist to optimize endoscopists' adenoma detection rates (ADR).
Areas Covered: This narrative review provides an overview of the importance of ADR and other colonoscopy quality indicators. It then summarizes the available evidence regarding the effectiveness of the following domains in terms of improving ADR: endoscopist factors, pre-procedural parameters, peri-procedural parameters, intra-procedural strategies and techniques, antispasmodics, distal attachment devices, enhanced colonoscopy technologies, enhanced optics, and artificial intelligence. These summaries are based on an electronic search of the databases Embase, PubMed, and Cochrane performed on 12 December 2022.
Expert Opinion: Given the prevalence and associated morbidity and mortality of CRC, the quality of screening-related colonoscopy quality is appropriately prioritized by patients, endoscopists, units, and payers alike. Endoscopists performing colonoscopy should be up to date regarding available strategies, techniques, and interventions to optimize their performance.

Individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBC) and high-risk individuals are advised to discuss participation with their doctor and not to participate in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. Yet a substantial proportion still participate in the Danish faecal immunochemical test (FIT) screening and have a higher positive FIT rate than the average-risk population. We estimated the risk of false-positive screening among individuals with inflammatory bowel disease and high-risk individuals to improve recommendations regarding screening participation.

Article Synopsis
- * Nine interventions significantly improved ADR, including techniques like dual observation and water exchange, as well as technologies such as i-SCAN and linked color imaging.
- * Despite these improvements, no interventions showed a benefit for detecting advanced adenomas; however, narrow-band imaging was effective in detecting serrated lesions.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the link between red meat consumption and advanced colorectal adenomas (ACRAs) by examining a sample of 1,083 individuals aged 50 and older who underwent colonoscopy in Calgary, Canada.
- - Using diet history questionnaires, the researchers found no significant association between unprocessed red meat intake and ACRAs, but noted that increases in total and processed red meat intake were associated with higher odds of ACRAs.
- - The findings emphasize the need to distinguish between different types of red meat when assessing dietary risks for colorectal cancer and its precursors.

Background: To address mismatch between routine endoscopy capacity and demand, centers often implement initiatives to increase capacity, such as weekend working or using locums/agency staff (insourcing). However, there are concerns that such initiatives may negatively impact quality. We investigated polyp detection for weekend vs.
