---|---|---|---|---|
Colonoscopy scheduled, n † | 180 | 181 | 191 | 203 |
Colonoscopy completed, n (%) | 119 (66.1) | 127 (70.2) | 148 (77.5) | 153 (75.4) |
Total number of appointments | 128 | 130 | 152 | 155 |
Cancellation, n (%) | 4 (3.1) | 3 (2.3) | 4 (2.6) | 2 (1.3) |
Reschedule, n (%) | 10 ‡ (7.8) | 1 (0.8) | 5 (3.3) | 3 (1.9) |
P value of Cochran–Armitage test for colonoscopy rate = 0.017.
P value of Cochran–Armitage test for cancellation or rescheduling rate = 0.023.
The number of subjects to whom colonoscopy was scheduled in this period was based on the number of fecal immunochemical test (FIT) positive in the previous 3 months and therefore is not exactly the same as FIT‐positive subjects in Table 2.
Five of them has yet received colonoscopy and rescheduled to a date later than May.
Colonoscopy rate = Number of subjects who received colonoscopy/Number of subjects with positive FIT (this number trace back 3 months as per the guidelines by our screening program, which recommend diagnostic colonoscopy within 3 months). Reschedule rate = Number of subjects who asked of postponing colonoscopy schedule/Number of subjects to whom colonoscopy has been scheduled.
