“…There are two main categories of risk models for predicting CRC or AN based on their predictor features: (1) conventional risk model, which uses known and well-established risk factors for CRC; and (2) composite model, which combines well-established risk factors with more advanced features, such as test/laboratory findings and genetic factors. Among the 41 included studies, we identified 22 original conventional risk models, [36][37][38]40,45,48,50,51,53,54,58,59,61,[63][64][65][67][68][69][70]72,74] and 13 composite models [39,[41][42][43][44]47,56,57,62,71,73,75,76]. Of these, three conventional risk models have undergone external validation in separate studies: (1) the Asia-Pacific Colorectal Screening (APCS) model [45], validated in four other studies [46,49,66,70];…”
