Abstract

Background: Early detection and resection of colorectal polyps by routine colonoscopy screening can be effective in reducing the risk of colorectal cancer (CRC).

Objective: This study aimed to determine the association between diabetes mellitus (DM) and different types of colorectal polyps in the Chinese population.

Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed on inpatients admitted to the Gastroenterology Department of our hospital from January to December 2019. Clinical data, and colonoscopy and pathology findings of the subjects were collected. Bivariate analysis was used to assess factors associated with colorectal polyps. Significant variables from the bivariate evaluation were included in a stepwise multivariate logistic regression analysis to recognize independent predictors of neoplastic polyps and high-risk adenomas.

Results: The proportion of patients with DM was significantly higher in patients with neoplastic polyps and high-risk adenomas than in patients without polyps. Age ≥ 50 years, male gender, and a first-degree relative with a history of CRC were independent risk factors for neoplastic polyps and high-risk adenomas, even in non-smokers. An independent risk factor analysis that did not include a family history of CRC showed that age, gender, and alcohol consumption were independent risk factors for neoplastic polyps and high-risk adenomas. DM was an independent risk factor for high-risk adenomas (OR = 2.902, 95% CI = 1.221-6.899; p = 0.016) after adjusting for age, gender, alcohol consumption, and body mass index. Thus, a history of DM significantly increases the risk of high-risk adenomas.

Conclusion: This study demonstrated that patients with DM, age ≥ 50 years, male gender, alcohol consumption, and a first-degree relative with a history of CRC should undergo regular endoscopic screening and colonic polypectomy.
