Changes in surveillance endoscopies and neoplasia yield during the COVID-19 pandemic Change in the number of all performed surveillance sigmoidoscopies and colonoscopies (A) and change in the number of surveillance sigmoidoscopies and colonoscopies that identified colorectal cancer or adenomas (B) in individuals with Lynch syndrome during the COVID-19 pandemic versus the reference period in 2018–19. Arrows accompanying percentages indicate direction of change versus the mean number of performed endoscopies and mean neoplasia yield in the corresponding pre-pandemic reference periods, aligned by calendar time. Phases of the pandemic were defined on the basis of COVID-19-related hospital admissions from the Dutch coronavirus dashboard. The first wave was defined as Feb 27–May 31, 2020. The second wave was defined as Aug 31, 2020–March 28, 2021. The third wave was defined as Oct 12, 2021 to the end of the study period.
