BACKGROUND: Clinical implementation of the resect-and-discard strategy has been difficult because optical diagnosis is highly operator dependent. This prospective study aimed to evaluate a resect-and-discard strategy that is not operator dependent. METHODS: The study evaluated a resect-and-discard strategy that uses the anatomical polyp location to classify colonic polyps into non-neoplastic or low risk neoplastic. All rectosigmoid diminutive polyps were considered hyperplastic and all polyps located proximally to the sigmoid colon were considered neoplastic. Surveillance interval assignments based on these a priori assumptions were compared with those based on actual pathology results and on optical diagnosis. The primary outcome was ≥â90â% agreement with pathology in surveillance interval assignment. RESULTS: 1117 patients undergoing complete colonoscopy were included and 482 (43.1â%) had at least one diminutive polyp.âSurveillance interval agreement between the location-based strategy and pathological findings using the 2020 US Multi-Society Task Force guideline was 97.0â% (95â% confidence interval [CI] 0.96-0.98), surpassing the ≥â90â% benchmark. Optical diagnoses using the NICE and Sano classifications reached 89.1â% and 90.01â% agreement, respectively (Pâ<â0.001), and were inferior to the location-based strategy. The location-based resect-and-discard strategy allowed a 69.7â% (95â%CI 0.67-0.72) reduction in pathology examinations compared with 55.3â% (95â%CI 0.52-0.58; NICE and Sano) and 41.9â% (95â%CI 0.39-0.45; WASP) with optical diagnosis. CONCLUSION: The location-based resect-and-discard strategy achieved very high surveillance interval agreement with pathology-based surveillance interval assignment, surpassing the ≥â90â% benchmark and outperforming optical diagnosis in surveillance interval agreement and the number of pathology examinations avoided.
