Condition
Colorectal cancer screening with Faecal Occult Blood Test (FOBT)
Intervention
Faecal occult blood test versus no test.
Timepoints (included in original trial - see hypothesis):
T0 = randomisation
T1 = invitation of the individuals randomised to the screening group
T2 = receive date of the test
T3 = evaluation date of the test in the laboratory
T4 = positive (including invitation for pre-colonoscopy consultation) or negative result letter
T5 = pre-colonoscopy consultation
T6 = colonoscopy
T7 = further treatment if necessary
T8 = start follow-up (for no screening group T8 starts immediately, for the screening group with negative test T8 is consecutive after T3)
T9 = follow-up 1 year
T10 = follow-up 2 years
T11 = follow-up 3 years

In each year of the follow-up (timepoints T9 - T11), the population will be censored for:
1. Mortality of colorectal cancer
2. Mortality of other causes
3. Other reasons for loss to follow-up
