Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The additional number of sessile serrated adenomatous (SSA) lesions detected at the level of the right colon after spraying of acetic acid and compared with the number of the same lesions detected after a second examination of the right colon using standard white-light high definition scopes and solution without acetic acid. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Measured as numbers of the events and the polyps detected through the examinations: 1. Number of new serrated lesions detected at second right colon examination in both studies group. 2.
