Cumulative density function plots for incidence of recurrence by risk factor categories in gastric adenoma after endoscopic submucosal dissection with curative resection. Current follow-up endoscopy after endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) was performed uniformly at 3, 6, 12, 18, 24 months and annually thereafter for all patients. The cumulative density of recurrence over time was estimated from the Cox proportional hazard model with interval censoring with identified risk factors. Using this estimated cumulative density plot, the surveillance time point when recurrence could be detected was assessed to not exceed the tolerance risk limit of 7%, and the cumulative risk between surveillance intervals on average was less than or equal to this limit. It is advised to have the risk-group specific follow-up schedule based on the risk group of a patient.
