Abstract

BACKGROUND: In colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs, accurately identifying individuals at high risk for advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN) is essential as they require further colonoscopy, early intervention, and monitoring follow-up. This study aimed to develop a machine learning (ML)-based risk prediction model, serving as an effective tool for the early identification of high-risk individuals for ACN.
