*The number of findings among the participants who were at risk.

†The GFR was estimated by the Chronic Kidney Disease Epidemiology Collaboration equation and the Modification of Diet in Renal Disease formula.

‡Adenoma and serrated polyp detection rate were calculated in participants aged 50–75 years.

CLO, Campylobacter-like organism; GFR, glomerular filtration rate; HPV, human papillomavirus; SIL, squamous intraepithelial lesion; UBT, urea breath test.
