Resumen:
Background: There is no information on the impact of age and gender on
the diagnostic yield of different positivity thresholds for the fecal
immunochemical test for hemoglobin (FIT).
Objectives: To evaluate the performance of this test at distinct
positivity cut-offs in a population -based colorectal cancer (CRC)
screening program.
Methods: CRC detection rate (DR), and analysis of resources were
evaluated retrospectively, at different cut-offs of FIT (20, 25, 30, 35
and 40 tig Hb/g) respect to a reference value (15 tig Hb/g), according
to age and gender, in a screening population of 10,611 participants of
the ColonPrev study (Quintero. NEJM 2013).
Results: At the reference cut-off value, 36 CRC and 252 advanced
adenomas (AA) were diagnosed. Increasing the cut-off in women <60 years
decreases colonoscopies performed by 44.5% without modifying the CRC
(DR). Same CRC DR was observed in men <60 years and women >60 years
increasing cut-off at 25-30 tig Hb/g. In men >60 years, all increases in
the cut-off affected the CRC DR, especially when the cut-off was
increased from 35 to 40 tig Hb/g (CRC miss rate 25%).
Conclusions: To improve the performance of FIT in CRC screening
programs, FIT cut-offs could be individualized by age and gender. (C)
