ADR, adenoma detection rate, i.e. proportion of patients with ≥1 adenoma detected per subgroup; ASA, American Society of Anesthesiology physical status class; BMI, body mass index; N, number of patients; SD, standard deviation.

aUnless, stated otherwise in the beginning of the row.

bFive centers were included in the derivation cohort, and four centers in the validation cohort.

cThirty-five physicians were included in the derivation cohort, and thirty-one physicians were included in the validation cohort.

dNumber of patients without missing values.

eOnly three patients in the development cohort and no patients in the validation cohort were in ASA category IV and therefore ASA III and IV were combined.

fIncluding white, native American, Alaska native, native Hawaiian, native Pacific patients and patient’s race categorized as other.

gThe indication is considered surveillance for patients with a personal history of colorectal adenomas or surveillance marked as indication on the GastroIntestinal Quality Improvement Consortium (GIQuIC) form.

hThe number of patients categorized per reason for high risk of adenoma detection are displayed in supporting information Table 1 (S1 Table).
