Author commentary: Jen-Hao Yeh on "Prevalence and predictive factors of colorectal sessile serrated lesions in younger individuals"
The prevalences of sessile serrated lesions (SSLs) and clinically significant serrated polyps (CSSPs) were retrospectively studied in patients aged less than 50 versus equal or more than 50 years. In patients aged less than50 years (n = 4712 [47.8%]), significantly lower prevalences of adenomas (22.6% vs. 46.2%) and right-sided adenomas (11.2% vs. 27.2%) were detected, while the SSL and CSSP rates were similar (7.2% vs. 6.5%; 10.3% vs. 10.3%, respectively). Awareness that SSLs are not uncommon in younger individuals may increase SSL and CSSP detection.
