Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The occurrence, distribution and phenotype (gross morphology, number, size, shape) of polyps and CRC in first-degree relatives of patients with HPS will be assessed. Based on these findings an estimation of the risk of developing polyps/ HPS and CRC in this group can be made so as to define whether screening of this group is justified. In addition, the proportion of individuals that complied with the screening programme will be assessed as well as the proportion of non-compliers. In these two groups, socio-demographic data and potential predictors of compliance behaviour will be compared with the higher aim of designing an effective surveillance programme for these individuals. | — |
