Professional society guidelines recommend follow up colonoscopy in patients with resected colonic adenomas. However, adherence to guideline recommendations in routine clinical practice has not been well characterized. Using a population-based sample of Medicare beneficiaries, we identified all patients aged 70 and older with a claim for colonoscopy with polypectomy or hot biopsy in 2001–2004. Medicare claims through 2009 identified colonoscopy within the following five years, as well as FOBT, sigmoidoscopy and barium enema. 12,771 patients were included. At five years, 45.7% received another colonoscopy, with 32.3% of procedures including polypectomy. Rates of FOBT, flexible sigmoidoscopy and barium enema at five years were 54.0%, 3.8% and 2.9%, respectively. There was a marked decrease in repeat colonoscopy at 1, 3, and 5 years with more recent years of index procedures. Other predictors of undergoing repeat colonoscopy were younger age, African American race, and a colonoscopy prior to the index examination. There was no association with physician specialty. The decreasing use of colonoscopy with time was maintained in a multivariable analysis. In this sample of elderly Medicare beneficiaries, there was underuse of follow up colonoscopy at 5 years after polypectomy, with fewer than half receiving a repeat examination. In particular, the use of this procedure has decreased over the four-year study period. Coupled with other data showing overuse of follow up colonoscopy in patients without polyps, there appears to be significant discordance between guidelines and actual practice.
