STARD flow chart describing study flow. Between February 2015 and February 2017, 28 participating endoscopists performed 3622 colonoscopies for the Dutch BCSP and detected 10 859 lesions during these colonoscopies. The figure shows the flow through the study along with the primary outcome of optical diagnosis of T1 CRC. Reasons for exclusion are noted. *Depicts the number of T1 CRCs of the total group of CRCs. BCSP, bowel cancer screening programme; CRC, colorectal cancer; STARD, Standards for Reporting Diagnostic Accuracy; T1 CRC, T1 colorectal cancer.
