Abstract

Objective: The aim was to find the false positive rate and positive predictive value of fecal immunochemical Test (FIT) positive patients for detecting polyps at risk of transformation (advance adenomas) and colorectal cancer (CRC).

Methods: A retrospective study was done among patients at the age of 50-70 years who had positive FIT in CRC screening program followed by colonoscopy at Prachuabkhirikhan Hospital from 1 September 2018 to 31 March 2020. The data included baseline characteristics, colonoscopic findings and pathological reports.

Results: A total of 367 patients positive FIT followed by colonoscopy at Prachuabkhirikhan Hospital. Fifty-five patients (15.0%) were excluded from study due to age, history of colorectal surgery, previous colonoscopy in 5 years, and loss of pathologic reports. A false positive rate was 41.7%. of total 58 Percent of positive predictive value, 13.8% were benign polyps, 28.5% were advance adenomas, 7.1% were CRC, and 9.0% were diverticular diseases. 

Conclusion: Nationwide CRC screening program in Prachuabkhirikhan Hospital has 35.6% positive predictive value to detect CRC and polyp at risk of transformation which could be benefit in treatment of colorectal cancer is false positive rate were 41.7%.
