CRC, colorectal cancer; IQR, interquartile range.

^aP values were from Wilcoxon rank-sum test for variables having 2 categories and Kruskal-Wallis test for variables having more than 2 categories.

There were 38, 94, and 4 screening/surveillance colonoscopy patients with no race, ethnicity, and preferred language information. There were 21 and 49 diagnostic colonoscopy patients with no race and ethnicity information.

Significant P values are displayed in bold.
