Overview

Retrospective study evaluates demographic and clinical outcomes in colonoscopy patients, indicating high diagnostic yield.

Key Points

  • Colonoscopy demonstrated a diagnostic yield of 62.43% in 933 patients, highlighting its importance in gastrointestinal assessments.
  • Notable findings include colorectal polyps in 17.04% and internal hemorrhoids in 11.78% of patients examined during the procedure.
  • The odds ratio for colorectal adenocarcinoma was 9.86 for patients over 50 years, suggesting an increased risk within this demographic.
  • The findings underscore the higher use of colonoscopy for symptoms like gastrointestinal bleeding and chronic abdominal pain, particularly in Kurdish populations.
