Table 3:
Polyps location in cases and controls who have colon polyps
| Controls (N=358) | Cases (N=61) | P-value | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Location, n (%) | |||
| Right colon | 83 (23.2) | 15 (24.6) | 0.81 |
| Left colon | 199 (55.6) | 36 (59.0) | 0.62 |
| Bilateral | 76 (21.2) | 10 (16.4) | 0.39 |
| Specific polyps’ location, n(%) | N=523* | N=92* | |
| Cecum | 46 (12.9) | 9 (14.8) | 0.68 |
| Ascending | 79 (22.1) | 13 (21.1) | 0.90 |
| Transverse | 57(15.9) | 12 (19.7) | 0.47 |
| Descending | 0 | 10 (16.4) | <0.001 |
| Sigmoid | 211 (58.9) | 26 (42.6) | 0.017 |
| Rectosigmoid | 0 | 8 (13.11) | <0.001 |
| Rectum | 130 (36.3) | 14 (23.0) | 0.042 |
In many patients, there was more than 1 polyp, as such the number of polyps does not match the number of patients.
