Abstract: Adenomas were more often detected among those >60 years (aOR 1.69, 95%CI 1.21-2.36)and males (aOR 1.61, 95%CI 1.15-2.26).The mean PPAC overall was 0.34 (SD 0.68) and was associated with age >60 years (P<0.001) and male gender (P<0.001).When analysis was restricted to only those with =1 adenomas, a negative linear trend of PPAC was observed with PPAC highest among excellent quality preparations (1.48 [SD 1.05]), and lowest for poor preparation quality (1.00 [SD 0.00], P = 0.55).The overall ADR was 25.0% and by bowel preparation quality was 21.7% for excellent preparation, 26.6% for good, 25.5% for fair, and 13.1% for poor.Conclusions: Our findings suggest that PPAC is sensitive to changes in bowel preparation quality but is particularly sensitive when restricted to only those in whom adenomas were seen.Further exploration of PPAC as a bowel preparation quality indicator is warranted.
