Table 2

Factors associated with ‘very important’ ratings of specific information about screening colonoscopy as identified by multivariable logistic regression analysis. Numbers represent ORs and their 95% CIs.

How important to you personally is information on:
Risks and side effects of colonoscopy?Incidence of risks and side effects?Whether bowel cancer might be overlooked by colonoscopy?Whether polyp removal makes sense?Your risk of getting bowel cancer within the next 10 years?Whether the examination is painful?How to take laxatives to prepare for colonoscopy?
