Abstract
Patients with non-distal rectal bleeding should be prioritized over other indications in a strategy of rapid diagnosis of CRC. Age equal to or more than 50 years should also be considered because this factor seems to reduce NND. Distal bleeding, abdominal pain and changes in bowel habits had low PPV and were associated with other diagnoses than CRC. Consequently, prioritization of these factors would be inefficient.
