Abstract

Background: Several colonic diseases, including colon polyps, ulcerative colitis, and colorectal cancer, are detected by colonoscopy. Every year, many patients come to the Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital for examination, treatment and colonoscopy. Therefore, we want to build a colonic disease pattern for patients who underwent colonoscopy at the Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Objectives: To describe the clinical characteristics, the prevalence of colonic pathologies, and the relationship between clinical symptoms and endoscopic findings in patients who underwent colonoscopy at the Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 1183 patients who underwent colonoscopy at Can Tho University of Medicine and Pharmacy Hospital in 2021. Results: Of the 1183 patients who underwent colonoscopy, 31.9% had normal colonoscopic results. The common colonoscopic findings were polyps (30.9%), ulcerative colitis (11.7%), colon cancers (7.9%) and diverticula (4.2%). The age group was related to colon polyps, ulcerative colitis, and colon cancer. The abdominal pain symptom was associated with colon cancer. Changes in bowel habits and stool disorders were linked to ulcerative colitis and colon cancers. Conclusion: Colonoscopy is necessary for patients ≥40 years old with abdominal pain and stool disorders to detect colonic diseases early.
