Chromoendoscopy
Conditions
Brief summary
Study to compare the detection of neoplastic lesions between chromoendoscopy and NBI
Detailed description
Single-blind (patient) randomized study to compare detection of neoplastic lesions between chromoendoscopy and NBI. Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease who are to undergo chromoendoscopy according to usual clinical criteria will be included. The endoscopic procedure is similar to the one usually performed. All patients will undergo colonoscopy according to the usual procedure, with Olympus HQ190 series endoscopes, with the same bowel preparation. During intubation, the faecal remains will be thoroughly washed. Patients will be randomly assigned to one of the two techniques: Chromoendoscopy with 0.1% methylene blue or New generation NBI with Near focus. Biopsies will be taken of all those lesions detected, instead of random biopsies.
Interventions
Chromoendoscopy is an endoscopic technique used in the follow-up of inflammatory bowel disease of long evolution. Chromoendoscopy, through the application of specific dyes used directly on the intestinal mucosa, promotes the visualization of mucosal lesions.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Lesions detected | Baseline | Total number of IBD dysplastic lesions detected by the use of NBI virtual chromoendoscopy versus conventional chromoendoscopy |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Non-dysplastic lesions | Baseline | Assess the number of non-dysplastic lesions detected with both methods |
| Ratio of neoplastic lesions/total lesions | Baseline | Compare the ratio of neoplastic lesions/total lesions between both groups |
| Total endoscopy time | Baseline | The total endoscopy time is counted from the introduction of the endoscope in the patient until its complete removal |
| Detection rate of dysplastic lesions | Baseline | Number of patients with at least one dysplastic lesion |
| Near Focus ability | Baseline | Assess Near Focus ability to optically differentiate dysplastic from non-dysplastic lesions |
| Number of biopsies | Baseline | Number of biopsies taken in the different groups |
| Removal time | Baseline | Withdrawal time is counted from the time the cecum is reached to the completion of the test, including time spent on staining, biopsy or polypectomy |
