Patient demographics, colonoscopy findings, follow\u2010up plans and pathology results were analysed. Patients were categorized as normal\/non\u2010neoplastic finding, low\u2010risk adenomas, high\u2010risk adenomas, personal history of colorectal cancer (CRC) and family history of CRC. Booked colonoscopy within 2\u2009months of guideline recommended interval was considered correct.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>A total of 467 patients were included (59.1% male; mean age 60\u2009years). Two hundred and fifty\u2010one (53.7%) patients had an incorrect surveillance colonoscopy booking. Twenty\u2010seven patients with a normal\/non\u2010neoplastic previous colonoscopy not requiring surveillance colonoscopy were incorrectly booked for a colonoscopy. For the 222 patients booked incorrectly and requiring surveillance colonoscopy, 88.7% were early and 11.3% were late. The proportions of incorrect bookings were highest in the low\u2010risk finding (66.1%) and history of CRC (67.6%) groups. For the 186 patients requiring a 3\u2010year surveillance interval, 38.7% were booked incorrectly. For the 197 patients requiring a 5\u2010year surveillance interval, 63.5% were booked incorrectly, of which 99.2% were early. More 5\u2010year surveillance interval patients were booked at 3\u2009years (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200979), than at the correct interval of 5\u2009years (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u200972).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Adherence to the National Health and Medical Research Council guidelines for surveillance colonoscopy is poor. The majority of deviations represent early follow\u2010up, which is most common among patients with low\u2010risk findings or history of CRC. There is a tendency towards 3\u2010year surveillance among low\u2010risk patients.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/ans.14934","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,1]],"date-time":"2019-02-01T12:44:24Z","timestamp":1549025064000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":6,"title":["Surveillance colonoscopies frequently booked earlier than the National Health and Medical Research Council guidelines: findings of a single centre audit"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"89","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-1398-3857","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Zachary","family":"Bunjo","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences The University of Adelaide Medical School  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu Han","family":"Koh","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences The University of Adelaide Medical School  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Lisa","family":"Leopardi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery The University of Adelaide, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jessica","family":"Reid","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery The University of Adelaide, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2064-181X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guy J.","family":"Maddern","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery The University of Adelaide, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter J.","family":"Hewett","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Surgery The University of Adelaide, The Queen Elizabeth Hospital  Adelaide South Australia Australia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_7_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1136\/gutjnl-2015-310912","article-title":"Global patterns and trends in colorectal cancer incidence and mortality","author":"Arnold M","year":"2017","journal-title":"Gut"},{"key":"e_1_2_7_3_1","unstructured":"Cancer Council Australia Colonoscopy Surveillance Working Party.Clinical Practice Guidelines for Surveillance Colonoscopy \u2013 in Adenoma Follow\u2010Up; Following Curative Resection of Colorectal Cancer; and for Cancer Surveillance in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
