Title: Outcomes from colonoscopy following referral from New Zealand general practice: a
retrospective analysis
Version: 1 Date: 13 Oct 2021
Reviewer's report:
Nice retrospective review of NZ colonoscopy referral practice and rate of CRC identification. I
think this kind of work is excellent and highlights areas for potential improvement and further
investigation in the system.
The most outstanding point to me is that GPs are doing a good job deciding who should be
undergo urgent colonoscopy and as the authors point out, adding additional triage may not
be beneficial. Hard to explain why M#ori patients undergo colonoscopy less frequently and
certainly worth further exploration.
I think the methods and the way the data are presented are sound. This is a solid retrospective
study. Thank you for the opportunity to review it.
