Abstract

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Determining adenoma detection rate (ADR) and serrated polyp detection rate (SDR) can be challenging as they usually involve manual matching of colonoscopy and histology reports. This study aimed to validate a Natural Language Processing (NLP) code that enables rapid and efficient data extraction to calculate ADR and SDR.
