This study is looking at colonoscopies — the camera procedure used to check your colon for problems — to understand which patients really need them and which don't. Right now, many people get colonoscopies when they may not be necessary, which wastes money and hospital resources. Researchers want to create a smarter system to predict who will actually benefit from a colonoscopy, so doctors can focus the procedure on patients most likely to have real findings.
Colonoscopies are one of the most commonly used procedures in hospitals, but doctors often order them when they're not really needed. When this happens, it takes up hospital staff time and money without helping the patient, and the procedure still carries small risks. This study exists to figure out which patients truly need colonoscopies so that doctors can use them more wisely.

If you join, researchers will collect information about your colonoscopy — why your doctor ordered it, what they found during the procedure, and basic details about your health. You won't need to do anything extra beyond your regular colonoscopy appointment; the study simply tracks what already happens during your normal care. The data collection is part of standard medical record-keeping at the hospital.
