Description of intervention(s) / exposure
To perform a comprehensive review of our Endoscopic Submucosal Resection (EMR) practice, in particular to determine the safety, efficacy and outcomes, including polyp recurrence at our institution for polyps greater than 20mm undergoing EMR.

The primary outcome will be establishing the proportion of patients who have bleeding and/or perforation.

In addition, we wish to define risk factors for both complication and failed/unsuccessful EMR (defined as initial incomplete removal OR recurrence at scheduled surveillance follow-up).

Participants will not be required to perform any additional tasks in this study. The total duration of observation for the study will be 1 year post the date of the procedure.

All patients in this study will receive usual standard of care practice with EMR - there will be no alteration in practice or data collected.

Outcomes
Primary outcome [1] 321546 0
The primary outcome will be establishing the proportion of patients who have bleeding and/or perforation.
This outcome will be assessed real-time (i.e. perforation recorded if this occurred during the procedure) and via collection of medical records for bleeding (i.e. if admitted to hospital for this).
Timepoint [1] 321546 0
Within 1 month of the procedure
Secondary outcome [1] 375330 0
Rate of polyp recurrence (observed endoscopically)
Timepoint [1] 375330 0
12 months post procedure (usually at the time of next procedure for surveillance).

Statistical methods / analysis
The sample size is estimated based on the primary objective of establishing the proportion of patients who have bleeding and/or perforation, at approximately 3%. Accordingly, we will aim to recruit 250 patients (mid-p) based on wanting width of 95% confidence interval to be no greater than 0.05.
Although this selected sample size does not give power to identify minor risk factors, for practical reasons a larger sample size is not possible and analysis of risk factors will only be exploratory.

95% Confidence intervals will be calculated for the estimate of the primary outcome..

Logistic regression will be performed to identify significant risk factors, Firth’s penalised regression will be used in case of sparse data. The analysis will be performed as a per-protocol principle. Significance is considered at p<0.05.

Summary
Brief summary
Endoscopic mucosal resection (EMR) has become the primary therapy in the management of large polyps in the colon. It is now the standard of care for safe and effective resection of large (greater than 20mm) non-pedunculated polyps. We aim to perform a comprehensive review of our EMR practice, in particular to determine the safety, efficacy and outcomes, including polyp recurrence at our institution for polyps greater than 20mm undergoing EMR.
