Adenoma Detection Rate
Polyps that may become cancerous if left undetected or untreated are known as adenomas. The most effective method for prevention and detection of colon cancer is a colonoscopy. During a colonoscopy, a skilled gastroenterologist will examine the colon to identify and remove adenomas.
What is Adenoma Detection Rate?
Adenoma Detection Rate, or ADR, is the percentage of patients whose cancerous polyps were successfully identified and removed by the physician during a colonoscopy. This measurement is an indicator of the physician’s skill at detecting and removing adenomas. The national average is 25%, however, the gastroenterologists of Tulsa Endoscopy Center exceed this benchmark, achieving an ADR rate of just over 48%.
What is Withdrawal Rate?
Withdrawal rate is another quality indicator that measures how long it takes a physician to withdraw the endoscope—the device used to examine the colon during a colonoscopy. This measurement demonstrates the efficiency and thoroughness of examining a colonoscopy. The standard Withdrawal Rate is six minutes. The gastroenterologists of Tulsa Endoscopy Center strive to deliver a complete examination while maintaining the highest standards of effectiveness and efficiency. At Tulsa Endoscopy Center, the average Withdrawal Rate is 7.5 minutes, exceeding the national benchmark for quality care.
