Key Points

To investigate the relationship between endoscopist sex and colonoscopy outcomes in CRC screening.
Analyzed a database of colonoscopy results
Compared discomfort scores between male and female patients with male and female endoscopists
Investigated correlation between endoscopist sex and colonoscopy outcomes
Slightly higher discomfort scores reported for female endoscopists
Negligible impact of endoscopist sex on overall colonoscopy outcomes

Implication

Database analysis shows negligible impact of endoscopist sex on colonoscopy outcomes, despite discomfort score differences.

Abstract

Although subjective discomfort scores were slightly higher for female endoscopists, both for male and female patients, our results show that endoscopist sex has a negligible impact on CRC-screening colonoscopy outcomes.
