NOA: nonopen access; OA: open access. Restricted to 10 data elements (from 20 assessed), largely because small cell sizes required suppression of the data. Excluding 12 reports with missing data element. Only valid for the 92 who provided information on prior colonoscopy history. Only valid for the 80 who provided a valid response.
