Title
CRC Incidence in Subjects with Surveillance Colonoscopy by Age

Summary
We will examine subjects undergoing surveillance colonoscopy. We will examine the CRC incidence rate from the time of 1st surveillance colonoscopy going forward. Rates will be analyzed by age. A recent paper showed a large decrease in CRC incidence post-surveillance colonoscopy in elderly compared to non-elderly subjects.

Aims

1. Examine the CRC incidence rate in subjects undergoing surveillance colonoscopy (from that date forward)

2. Examine the above CRC incidence rate by age
