Our findings indicate that baseline conditions linked to gastrointestinal bleeding are an associating factor with having a negative colonoscopy. The same is true for low FIT concentration and female sex. Further studies with similar findings could suggest that an incorporation of these factors into a personalized screening approach by differentiating between diagnostic modalities could improve the process for the participant while alleviating the health care system.
