a

Adjusted for age, sex, race, education, BMI, physical activity, family history of colorectal cancer, alcohol intake, smoking status, NSAIDs use, hormone therapy use, and study phase.

b

Controls include participants with no colorectal pathology, participants with non-advanced adenomas, and participants with hyperplastic polyps

c

Prior sigmoidoscopy, colonoscopy, or a history or both exams ≥2 years prior to the index colonoscopy

d

Previous exam ≥2 years prior to the index colonoscopy

Note: 9 study participants had advanced adenomas in both the distal and proximal portions of the colon and were included in both groups

16 study participants had advanced SSPs in both the distal and proximal portions of the colon and were included in both groups
