The original version of this article unfortunately contained errors in Table 1 and in the Discussion section.
The values presented in the last four entries in the table are corrected as follows.
Opioid n (%) | Non-opioid n (%) | P value | |
|---|---|---|---|
Indication | |||
Screening | 41 (12.81) | 41 (13.13) | 1.00 |
FIT-positive | 101 (31.56) | 97 (30.31) | 0.79 |
Symptomatic | 79 (24.69) | 67 (20.94) | 0.50 |
Surveillance | 99 (30.94) | 114 (35.63) | 0.24 |
In the third paragraph of the Discussion section, although the authors did not observe a significant difference in the indications for colonoscopy, patients on chronic opiods had more procedures performed for abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits. A history of depression, chronic pain, and the constipating effects of opioid use likely contributed to these findings.
