Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is a well established outcome quality parameter for (screening) colonoscopy since it is correlated with the interval cancer rate; however it is not known whether this correlation is linear or whether there is a cut-off, above which the effects on interval cancers do not get bigger any more.
