Abstract

The principle indicator for assessing competence in colonoscopy is caecal intubation rate (CIR). Comfort is a key auditable outcome for colonoscopy in the UK but there are no standards for patient comfort during colonoscopy and no reports of comfort scores in relation to other quality indicators. The aim of this study is to analyse the role of different factors in determining an individual's performance in colonoscopy and to explore the significance of patient comfort scores in colonoscopist performance.
