Article Title: Prevalence of advanced histological features in diminutive and small colon polyps
Abstract: BACKGROUND: Investigators have proposed "predict, resect, and discard" strategies for diminutive (/= 10 mm (0.8% vs 15.0%; P .001). During sensitivity analysis, the frequency of advanced histological features varied from 0.2% to 0.7% within diminutive polyps, 1.5% to 3.6% within small polyps, and 0.8% to 1.2% within polyps 10 mm. LIMITATIONS: Retrospective analysis from tertiary-care referral centers; predominantly white, male, veteran patient population resulting in limited generalizability of results. CONCLUSION: The prevalence of advanced histological features in colon polyps
