Declarations
:
: The study ensured patient anonymity by rigorously safeguarding their personal information and identities throughout the research process, aimed at protecting participant privacy and confidentiality. Moreover, oral consent was obtained from patients prior to their inclusion in the study. Oral consent entails verbally informing participants about the study’s nature, purpose, and their rights as participants. It is important to note that these patients were already scheduled to undergo colonoscopy, thus their participation in the study did not subject them to any additional risks. Our only requirement was their consent for the information gathered during colonoscopies to be published. The members of the Ethics Committee of the Sahloul University Hospital, Sousse, Tunisia, meeting on 21 February 2024, certified that the research project entitled “The appropriateness of colonoscopies in a Tunisien endocopy centre: associated factors, and comparison of EPAGE-I and EPAGE-II criteria”, proposed by Dr Aya Hammami et al, is registered under the number HS 15-2024.
