Intervention/exposure
Study type
Interventional
Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Colonoscopy will be performed to the patients who will be included in the study. All procedures will be held by the same team who contributes to this trial. Bowel cleansing will be achieved by polyethyleneglycol or a phosphate-based solution depending on the renal function. Colonoscopy will be performed under general anesthesia and 1-2 mg/kg propofol following premedication with midazolam 0.05 mg/kg and fentanyl 1 µg/kg. The procedure takes about 20 minutes. All polyps will be resected utilizing forceps or snares and will be sent for patholological examination. The same two pathologists will be responsible for the histologic examination. Polyp size will be measured in the laboratory and also colonoscopically, by comparison with a 6-mm forceps. Location of polyps will be recorded as proximal or distal with respect to the splenic flexure. Multiple polyps in both proximal and distal colon will be evaluated in diffuse category.

Early detection / Screening
Comparator / control treatment
The patients will be groupped according to their age. Group 1 will be consisted of patients aged 40-49 years while group 2 will be ?50 years of age. The surgeon will inform the patients about the colonoscopy and recommend the procedure prior to bariatric surgery.
Control group
Active

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 322025 0
Colorectal neoplasia incidence between different age groups.
Colorectal neoplasia will be assessed with the histopathologic evaluation of polyps.
Timepoint [1] 322025 0
2 years, post enrolment
Primary outcome [2] 322026 0
Colorectal cancer incidence between different age groups
Colorectal cancer diagnosis will be assessed with histopathologic examination of the polypectomy specimen.
Timepoint [2] 322026 0
2 years, post enrolment.
Secondary outcome [1] 377048 0
Classification of the detected colorectal neoplasia according to histopathology, location, size, multiplicity and Paris classification of colorectal polyps.
Timepoint [1] 377048 0
2 years, post enrolment

Eligibility
Key inclusion criteria
Bariatric surgery candidate, average-risk for colorectal cancer. Average risk defines asymptomatic individuals lacking high-risk medical conditions (polyposis syndromes, inflammatory bowel disease) and a personal/family history of CRN/CRCs.
Minimum age
40 Years
Maximum age
No limit
Sex
Both males and females
Can healthy volunteers participate?
No
Key exclusion criteria
Patients who had previous screening colonoscopy were excluded for standardization. Patients who were symptomatic (i.e.,bleeding, positive fecal occult blood test, changed bowel habits, iron deficiency anemia) or in "high-risk" category for colorectal cancer were also excluded as those who did not want to comply.

Type of endpoint/s
Statistical methods / analysis
All statistics will be done using SPSS version 24.0 (Armonk, NY: IBM corp., USA). Continuous variables will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation. The incidence of CRNs and the
distribution of other variables in patients 40–49 years of age will be compared with the data obtained from patients who are ?equal or more than 50 years??? old. Chi-square test will be used to compare the categorical variables. Student’s t test will be used to compare the continuous variables. P < 0.05 will be regarded as statistically significant.

Summary
Brief summary
Even obesity and metabolic syndrome (MetS) are associated with colorectal neoplasia (CRN) and carcinoma (CRC), none of them is regarded as a criterion for the timing of first screening colonoscopy in guidelines. Incidences of CRNs in different age groups in bariatric surgery candidates will be compared by SC.
