aArterial thromboembolic disease included ischemic heart disease or stroke.

bLow-risk adenoma group was defined as 1 or 2 tubular adenoma without feature of advanced adenoma.

cHigh-risk adenoma group included advanced adenomas or more than 3 tubular adenomas without the feature of advanced adenoma.

dInterval means the duration from the initial to repeat colonoscopy, and the median was 13 months.
