What is a polyp detection rate?

Adenoma Detection Rate (ADR) is the measurement that best reflects how carefully a doctor performs a colonoscopy. This rate is the percentage of patients undergoing a screening colonoscopy who have one or more precancerous polyps detected.

Gastroenterology Associates has an average ADR of 37% with a 43% ADR in males and 31% ADR in females.
