aRates are the number of positive patients relative to the number of participants. bRates are the number of colonoscoped patients relative to the number of positive patients. cDetection rate per protocol is the percentage of persons with lesions relative to the number of participants. d≥1 villous adenoma or adenoma with high-grade dysplasia and no adenomas ≥10 mm ePPV is the number of true positives relative to the number of total positive patients. followed up with colonoscopy. fTF combined with IFOBT (Either/or) vs IFOBT alone.
