Equity of colonoscopy provision and quality in Māori and New Zealand Europeans: a comparative retrospective study.

Background: High-quality colonoscopy is essential for investigating suspected colorectal cancer and relies on endoscopists meeting key performance indicator (KPI) targets. The rising demand for colonoscopy raises concerns that Māori populations could be under-served. This study aimed to compare rates of colonoscopy provision and colonoscopy KPIs between Māori and New Zealand (NZ) European patients.
