BACKGROUND AND AIMS: There is conflicting evidence regarding the impact of hypothetical cumulative fatigue after performing too many endoscopic procedures on both polyp and adenoma detection rates (PDR, and ADR, respectively). The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of successive endoscopic procedures on PDR and ADR. METHODS: A retrospective cross-sectional study was undertaken among consecutive patients on whom colonoscopy and/or esophagogastroduodenoscopy were performed between January 2012 and August 2014. Data regarding polyp and adenoma detection, cecal intubation, and bowel cleansing quality as well as demographical data of subjects were extracted. Endoscopic procedures were classified according to the time slots of the procedures throughout the endoscopy session in three groups: from the 1st to 4th endoscopy study (round 1), from the 5th to the 8th study (round 2), above the 9th study (round 3). We compared PDR and ADR among rounds. RESULTS: Overall, 3388 patients were enrolled. Median age was 50 years (range 18-95) and 52.39% were female. There was a significant difference in terms of PDR among rounds (36.83%, 41.24%, and 43.38%, respectively, p = 0.007) and a non-significant numerical difference when ADR was compared (23.2%, 25.71%, and 26.78%, p = 0.07). On multivariate analysis, ADR was significantly associated with age (odds ratio [OR] 1.02 [1.01-1.03]), and male sex (OR 1.64 [1.38-1.94]). CONCLUSION: Theoretical endoscopist's fatigue due to cumulative performance of endoscopies does not diminish colonoscopy quality. Both PDR and ADR seem to improve after endoscopist's cumulative rounds of performed endoscopies. This could be due to a "warm-up" effect.
