Returned a gFOBt kit (or kits) within 18 weeks of being sent the invitation, with a definitive “normal” (no further investigation required) or “abnormal” (requiring referral for further investigation, usually colonoscopy) screening test result available at the time of data extraction.

546 (274 SI and 272 SI + N) individuals missing an IMD score, 301 of these were adequately screened (149 SI and 152 SI + N).
