TABLE 3.

Colonoscopy completion rate in Q1 of each year in recent 4 years

Q1 2020 Q1 2019 Q1 2018 Q1 2017
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.
