Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| cap-assisted colonoscopy compared visibility with standard colonoscopy | 4 months | Propose to perform a randomized controlled trial comparing cap-assisted colonoscopy with the standard colonoscopy to assess visibility. To see if it is easier to detect polyps, adenomas with the cap than without. This is standard procedure. Just comparing if it is better to use the cap during colonoscopy. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adenoma Detection | 4 months | number of adenomatous polyps detected per procedure. To see if it is more visible using the cap as to not using the cap. |
| Advanced lesion detection rate | 4 months | (number of advanced lesions per procedure) defined as lesions with high-grade dysplasia, greater than 1 cm. size. To see if it is more visible using the cap as to not using the cap. |
| Cecal Intubation Rate | 4 months | Time to cecum |
| Polyp detection rate | 4 months | Number of Polyps detected per procedure using the cap. To see if it is more visible. |
| Complication Rate | 4 months | Amount of complications during colonoscopies |
| Procedure indication | 4 months | — |
| Total time for colonoscopy | 4 months | — |
