Table 3. Effects of baseline adenoma attributes on the odds of adenoma recurrence, development of an advanced adenoma, or incident invasive colorectal adenocarcinomaa.

Predictor Grouped as Most advanced lesion in follow-up Odds ratio (95% CI low, high; P value)
    Any adenoma N=537/3,300 Advanced adenoma N=354/3,300 ICRC N=14/3,300
Number of adenomas ≥3 vs. 1 or 2 1.8 (1.5, 2.2; <0.0001) 2.4 (1.9, 3.0; <0.0001) 4.3 (1.4, 12.9; 0.01)
Size ≥10 mm vs. 1–9 3.1 (2.5, 3.8; <0.0001) 3.6 (2.8, 4.5; <0.0001) 5.2 (1.8, 15.1; 0.03)
High-grade dysplasia Present vs. absent 3.9 (2.1, 7.4; <0.0001) 4.3 (2.2, 8.4; <0.0001) 13.2 (2.8, 62.1; 0.001)
Villous morphology Present vs. absent 2.7 (2.2, 3.4; <0.0001) 3.7 (2.9, 4.7; <0.0001) 7.4 (2.5, 21.5; 0.01)

Abbreviations: ICRC, incident invasive colorectal adenocarcinoma.

Advanced adenoma: adenoma with ≥1 risk attributes. Risk attributes were defined at namely the number (≥3) and size (≥10 mm) of adenomas, and the presence of high-grade dysplasia or villous morphology; any adenoma: any adenoma (including tubular, sessile, or flat) with or without risk attributes; ICRC, incident invasive colorectal adenocarcinoma.
