COL indicates colonoscopy; CRC, colorectal cancer; FIT = Fecal Immunochemical Test; LY, Life-years; LYG, LY gained compared with no screening; ICER, Incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (Costs/LYs gained).

a

Including deaths from complications of screening;

b

compared with no screening;

c

CRC cases and CRC death were not discounted.

Bold rows indicate optimal screening strategies.
