Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Adenoma detection rate (ADR) | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. Mean adenomas detected per procedure (MAP) 2. The rate of cuff exchange (that is, how often the cuff has to be removed) 3. Caecal intubation rates and insertion time to terminal ileum (to demonstrate non-inferiority) 4. Complete withdrawal time in procedures where no polyps are detected (to demonstrate non-inferiority) 5. Patient satisfaction 6. To identify any difference in future colonoscopic workload produced by increased adenoma detection rate in terms of number of potential follow-up procedures based on BSG adenoma surveillance guidelines between the EAC and SC groups | — |
