1. Endoscopist quality appears to be a stronger determinant of short-term post-colonoscopy colorectal cancer (PCCRC) risk than the presence of high-risk polyps.
   
   
2. A large Dutch population-based study involved more than 239,000 individuals who were screened between 2014 and 2020 after a positive fecal immunochemical test.
   
   
3. High-risk polyps did not correlate with increased PCCRC risk within three years.
   
   
4. Outcomes were more closely linked to the endoscopist’s adenoma detection rate (ADR) and proximal serrated polyp detection rate (PSPDR).
   
   
5. Each one-point increase in ADR reduced PCCRC risk by 6%, and each one-point increase in PSPDR reduced it by 8%.
