A Global Evaluation of the Performance Indicators of Colorectal Cancer Screening with Fecal Immunochemical Tests and Colonoscopy: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

(1) Background: To summarize the achievements of the performance indicators of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs that used the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) as a primary screening modality and colonoscopy as a subsequent confirmatory test. (2) Methods: PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Co...

description (1) Background: To summarize the achievements of the performance indicators of colorectal cancer (CRC) screening programs that used the fecal immunochemical test (FIT) as a primary screening modality and colonoscopy as a subsequent confirmatory test. (2) Methods: PubMed, Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane were searched from inception to September 2020. We included original articles published in English, and performed hand searching for relevant national reports. We generated pooled achievement estimates of the performance indicators by “metaprop” (R software 3.6.3). Meta-regression analyses and subgroup analyses were also conducted. (3) Results: We included 93 studies involving nearly 90 million people-times. The participation rate ranged from 6.80% to 95.98%, which was associated with study type, continents, FIT number, age, and round. The pooled FIT invalid rate and positivity rate were 1.08% and 7.28%, respectively. The pooled estimates of FIT detection were 2.26% for adenoma, 1.26% for advanced adenoma, and 0.28% for CRC. In addition, only seven studies reported that their colonoscopy compliance rate reached 90% among 69 studies. The colonoscopy completion rate (21/40 studies > 95%) and the complication rate (18/27 studies < 0.5%) were acceptable. (4) Conclusions: Our findings could help to identify the areas that could be improved and finally optimize the CRC screening programs.
