Due to limited endoscopy resources and personnel in Thailand, a high-volume colonoscopy (50-100 colonoscopies/day) performed within a few days by a group of community endoscopists gathering from different centers has been utilized to clear stranded patients with FIT positive especially after COVID-19 pandemic. Because of the rush in procedure time to achieve a high turnover rate ( more than 15 colonoscopies/endoscopist/day), these endoscopists may develop fatigue. This in turn may contribute to

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| ADR 2 weeks after colonoscopy and pathology reported Adenoma detection rate is percentage of patients undergoing screening colonoscopy, who have one or more precancerous polyps detected. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| proximal adenoma detection rate (pADR), advanced adenoma detection rate (AADR), and the number of adenomas/proximal adenomas/advanced adenomas per colonoscopy (APC, pAPC, and AAPC, respectively) 2 weeks after colonoscopy and pathology reported pADR is ADR that adenoma detected proximal to the splenic flexure. AADR is ADR with adenoma larger than 10 mm in size or with high-grade dysplasia.APC is number of adenomas detected per colonoscopy. | — |
