Clinical takeawayConsider nurse endoscopists as a viable option for CRC screening colonoscopies, as they maintain high technical quality and may help meet increasing service demands.
What it foundNurse endoscopists had a higher adenoma detection rate (57% vs. 46%; OR 1.55, 95% CI 1.47-1.62) and lower rate of ADR <25% (3.6% vs. 11.2%) compared to physicians.
ContextThis study supports the role of nurse endoscopists in CRC screening, challenging potential concerns about their performance relative to physicians.

Every paper is compared to the standard governing its question. This one is not: either no standard in the corpus matches it, or the comparison did not hold up on review and was withdrawn rather than published unverified. Both are logged.
