a

Participants were considered at risk for colonoscopy until undergoing first subsequent colonoscopy. If there were no adenomas removed, the participant was still considered at risk for adenoma removal.

b

No. at risk indicates number at risk at the given time point.

c

Cumulative percentages were computed using weighted Kaplan-Meier analysis, in which weights were the inverse sampling weights from the study of colonoscopy utilization.

d

Median follow-up for subsequent colonoscopy was 9.0 y.
