1. The study assessed a new colonoscopy performance metric called adjusted mean number of polyps per 100 procedures (aMNP).
2. aMNP showed strong correlations with existing detection metrics and could revolutionize endoscopy quality assessment.
3. It includes all polyp types and does not rely on histology, which is critical for detecting subtle serrated polyps associated with increased cancer risk.
4. Age, sex, procedure type, and history of polyps were important predictors of polyp detection rates.
5. The integrated aMNP into centralized databases could support consistent benchmarking of colonoscopy quality nationwide.
