Core Tip
Core Tip: Designing a feasible risk prediction model for advanced colorectal neoplasia (ACN) can greatly improve the efficiency of colonoscopy screening. Abdominal obesity is associated with development of colorectal cancer. We proposed and evaluated a modified scoring model incorporating waist-hip ratio for the prediction of ACN in a Chinese population. Results showed that the modified scoring model had an improved predictive performance than the Asia-Pacific Colorectal Screening model in the prediction of ACN.
