Excerpt

We have read the article by Niedermaier et al. [1] with great interest. This is a modelling study aiming to estimate the sensitivity and specificity of a combined strategy of sigmoidoscopy and fecal immunochemical test (FIT) screening to detect colorectal neoplasia. To inform the model, the authors performed a meta-analysis of studies that have evaluated the site-specific FIT sensitivity, with colonoscopy as the gold standard. …
