Core Tip	This study reports an exceptionally high sessile serrated lesion detection rate of 30.7% in regional Australia, with faecal occult blood test positive-positive patients showing the highest rate (42%). Clinical indication, bowel preparation quality, inflammatory bowel disease status, and serrated polyposis syndrome were identified as independent predictors. The marked variability in sessile serrated lesion detection rate across Australia (3.1%-24%) highlights the need for standardized detection protocols and context-specific quality indicators to optimize colorectal cancer prevention.
