Am J Gastroenterol. 2012;107:1157–63. doi: 10.1038/ajg.2012.23 . This large survey study of 652 clinicians caring for adult patients (faculty, both generalists and gastroenterologists; fellows; residents; and medical students) analyzes the factors that most impact the underutilization of the DRE. It identified a very low rate of DREs overall, with a markedly higher rate by gastroenterologists and by senior clinicians. It correlated patient refusal rates with clinician discomfort in performing the DRE, and also demonstrated that perceived training adequacy increased diagnostic confidence and the frequency of performing the DRE.
