The largest colorectal polyp cohort study in Turkey: should more details be evaluated?
نویسنده
چکیده
I read with great interest the article by Solakoğlu et al. (1), who retrospectively reported on colorectal polyps in a large group of patients who underwent colonoscopy. Although the descriptive statistics were excellent, this large dataset could be used more efficiently through additional analyses, which would further increase the impact of the paper. Since this is a retrospective study, it would be interesting to assess the distribution of the different histologic types of polyps, based on the colonic segment and on the age of the patients, as well as the correlation between the colonic segments involved and the histologic type. Finally, the correlation between the histologic types and risk factors, such as smoking and obesity, could be examined.
