Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: This randomized controlled trial is designed to test the hypothesis that split-dosing low-volume polyethylene-glycol solution can increase the adenoma detection in patients undergoing screening colonoscopy;Secondary Objective: None;Primary end point(s): Proportion of patients with at least one adenoma (adenoma detection rate) ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of the study | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary end point(s): - Overall quality of bowel preparation, as assessed by the endoscopists by the Harefield Cleansing Scale (HCS) - Quality of bowel preparation for the right colon - Proportion of patients with at least one advanced adenoma (adenoma > 10mm, and/or villous component, and/or high grade dysplasia) - Proportion of patients with at least one flat/depressed adenoma, according to Paris classification - Proportion of patients with at least one proximal sessile serrated adenoma/polyp - Number of total adenomas, advanced adenomas, proximal adenomas, proximal advanced adenomas, flat/depressed adenomas - Patient tolerability and acceptability, as assessed by a nurse before colonoscopy ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: End of the study | — |
