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number of patients have arrived for procedures improperly prepped, failed to show up for their appointments, or withdrawn unexpectedly.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. |

Enrollment for the week of September 29, 2025, reached 10 participants out of 30 scheduled, with 7 AA and 3 CA participants. While progress continues, enrollment was below target, partly due to scheduling conflicts and poor prepped patients. The goal for next week is 15 enrollments, with continued efforts to improve demographic balance and participant retention. |

This data is conclusive for the week of 11/3. Patient consenting was affected by a research coordinator’s one-day absence and by a low number of consent-eligible patients on Tuesdays, when one physician does not allow consenting and the remaining rooms are primarily scheduled for upper endoscopies. |

The numbers for the week of 11/17 are lower than the average of the previous 10+ weeks due to the implementation of a new pre-operative consenting process in the GI unit. This updated workflow does not allow adequate time for consenting in the pre-op area, resulting in reduced opportunities to obtain patient consent before procedures |

The numbers for the week of 11/24 are also lower, consistent with the ongoing impact of the new pre-operative consenting process in the GI unit, which provides limited time for obtaining consent prior to procedures. In addition, this was a shortened week due to the Thanksgiving holiday, which led to reduced scheduling and an increase in holiday-related cancellations |

During the week of 11/24, a total of 15 participants were scheduled, with only 2 enrolled due to the Thanksgiving holiday, which significantly reduced attendance. Among controls, there was 1 CA participant with polyps, 1 AA participant without polyps, and no additional findings. One procedure could not be completed due to poor bowel preparation. The goal for next week remains 15 participants. |

These are the results of consents for the week starting 1/5/2026. Out of 52 possible participants scheduled, 6 were successfully enrolled. Among those scheduled the was several scheduled participants were no-shows, and some patients who came in had inadequate bowel preparation, limiting full evaluation. Patient enrollment remains low, likely due to the continued low attendance since Holiday Months and gaining traction for continued patient turnout |

These are the results of consents for the week starting 01/12/2026. Out of 39 possible participants scheduled, 7 were successfully enrolled. The number of possible patients scheduled consents this week was on the lower side. Patient participation is due reoccurring common issue in the GI unit due to no-shows, appointment cancellations, and inadequate adherence to bowel preparation for procedures. There was a majority participants that were CA enrolled this week |

These are the consent results for the week of 1/20. It was a 4-day week, and on a couple of days, physicians were running behind, which resulted in our team being denied access to work alongside them during procedures. As well 2 patients we were able to enroll we were not able to get sample due to them having poor prep for their procedure. We are still awaiting pathology results from the previous week. |

Recruitment results were impacted by weather-related cancellations earlier in the week. Additionally, Tuesday was largely non-consentable due to a high volume of upper endoscopies and a limited number of eligible patients. Two patients were also unable to complete their procedures due to inadequate preparation |

For the week of 02/23/2026 these are the consents for the week . Just a slow participation from patients in general. This week there was an increase in caucasian patients participating and being on the schedule. Again no shows and cancelations are typical for the GI Unit |
