Key Points

The central aim is to evaluate the accuracy of fecal immunochemical tests for detecting advanced colorectal neoplasia at surveillance colonoscopy.
Evaluated the sensitivity of fecal immunochemical tests with a lowered hemoglobin cutoff.
Assessed the impact of serial testing on detection rates.
Analyzed potential changes in surveillance strategies based on FIT results.
Lowering the FIT hemoglobin cutoff significantly enhanced sensitivity for detecting advanced lesions.
Serial testing could further improve detection rates.
FIT-based surveillance may serve as an alternative to traditional colonoscopy procedures.

Abstract

Lowering the FIT hemoglobin cutoff markedly improved sensitivity for detecting APL in patients without prior advanced polyps. Serial testing could further enhance detection. FIT-based surveillance should be further evaluated as a potential strategy to prioritize, delay, or replace colonoscopy.
