there are a few different reasons we are unable to consent patients we have identified as potential candidates. some come in with diabetic issues, and nurses don't allow us to draw blood. Sometimes during the procedure, physicians determine whether or not it's safe to collect samples for our study, depending on bleeding, patients' reactions to anesthesia etc. some further delays in the OR, or surgeries beginning earlier than scheduled, makes it difficult to catch other patients who come in for their colonoscopies (or no show). We see a combination of these factors every week, and with 1 coordinator, it's difficult to make changes to make this more efficient. |

This represents the week starting 9/08/2025, with a total of nine participants, including one previous CRC patient. The low participation rate is primarily attributed to inadequate preparation and a number of procedure cancellations, primarily on the GI unit’s end. |

Patient recruitment has been below expected levels due to several operational and patient-related challenges. A significant number of patients have arrived for procedures improperly prepped, failed to show up for their appointments, or withdrawn unexpectedly. For example, one patient consented in the waiting room but left prior to entering the pre-operative area without notice.
Recruitment was particularly impacted on Monday and Tuesday, primarily due to the closure of one procedure room and a high number of no-shows, especially among consent-eligible patients scheduled for the afternoon.
Additionally, a considerable portion of recent recruitment attempts involve patients with a personal or family history of colorectal cancer (CRC), which may influence both eligibility and participation dynamics.
We are actively monitoring these trends to identify actionable steps for improving recruitment consistency and reducing procedural disruptions.
One patient recruited had poor prep so we were not able to move forward w/ biopsies another patient we are still waiting for pathology results from the hospital |

During the week of 9/22/2025, 8 of 30 scheduled participants enrolled (7 AA, 1 CA). One patient’s colonoscopy was aborted due to poor prep, but we successfully collected a tumor sample from a cancer patient. Enrollment remains below next week’s goal of 15, with strong AA participation but low CA engagement. Improving follow-up and outreach is needed. |
