Comparison between Ad/Ds and SSA/Ps only.
Some patients have more than one lesion type.
If there are multiple fragments, it represents size of largest fragment.
Ad/D, conventional adenomas/dysplasia; CD, Crohn’s disease; IBD, inflammatory bowel disease; SSA/P, sessile serrated adenoma or polyp; SD, standard deviation; TSA, traditional serrated adenoma; UC, ulcerative colitis.
