Core Tip	Thyroid polyps are common in particular among the middle age group, colonoscopy is indicated in the above 50 years. However, it is invasive, easy reliable methods for risk stratification for colonic polyps screening is important. The few studies, that assessed the association of thyroid nodules and colon polyps, showed contradicting results. The current meta-analysis contributed significantly to the field because it is the first meta-analysis to find an association. Our research challenges the current colonic polyp screening guidelines because physicians might need to include thyroid nodules as a risk factor for colonic polyps.
