Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Adenoma miss rate | 1 day | Comparison of adenoma miss rate between cap ( CAC) and Endocuff assisted colonoscopy(E |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mean adenoma per procedure | 1 day | Difference in mean adenomas detected per procedure (MAP) between EAC and CAC. |
| Endocuff or cap exchange | 1 day | Number of times Cap or Endocuff are removed to complete the procedure |
| miss rate of advanced polyps | 1 day | Comparison of miss rates of advanced adenomas, serrated polyps and proxima polyps between CAC and EAC |
| Comfort score | 1 day | Comparison of patient comfort score between CAC and EAC |
| Ceacal intubation and withdrawal time | 1 day | Comparison of caecal intubation and withdrawal time |
Other
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| comparison of surveillance intervals | Once histology is available usually takes 10-14 days | To compare any surveillance interval difference between CAC and EAC |
