The platelet count/spleen diameter ratio with a cut-off value of 909 may not be sufficiently accurate in predicting the presence of esophageal varices. Upper endoscopy remains the method of choice to screen for the presence of varices.

While SA are uncommon, they are commonly associated with colorectal cancer. Serrated adenomas appear to be found more commonly in the left colon and in older patients. This study found a significant association between SA and the subsequent development of adenomatous polyps. Further studies are needed to define appropriate preventive strategies for these patients.
