Definitions of adenoma detection rate and adenoma burden

Adenoma detection rate
 Adenoma detection rate Percentage of patients with tubular, tubullovillous, or villous adenomas
 Advanced adenoma detection rate Percentage of patients with advanced adenomas (>1 cm in size, villous histology, high-grade dysplasia)
 Multiple adenoma detection rate Percentage of patients with ≥3 adenomas
 Serrated lesion detection rate Percentage of patients with serrated adenomas or hyperplastic polyps proximal to splenic flexure
Precancerous lesion detection rate
 Precancerous lesion detection rate Percentage of patients with adenomas or serrated lesions
Adenoma burden
 Mean number of adenomas per screening procedure Total number of adenomas detected divided by the number of screening procedures
 Mean number of adenomas per screening procedure positive for precancerous lesions Total number of adenomas detected divided by the number of screening procedures positive for precancerous lesions

Precancerous lesions include adenoma and serrated lesions.
