Incorporation of quality assurance within organized population-based screening programs resulted in a profound decrease in colorectal cancer (CRC) incidence and mortality in European countries. In particular, three colonoscopy quality indicators have been consistently scrutinized in such programs, namely cecal intubation rate, rate of adequate bowel preparation, and the adenoma detection rate (ADR) [1].
