Brief summary

Optical diagnosis of colorectal polyps is a promising tool to avoid risks of unnecessary polypectomies and to save costs of tissue pathology. NICE (NBI International Colorectal Endoscopic) and WASP (Workgroup on Serrated Polyps and Polyposis) classification were developed for diagnosis of adenomatous and sessile serrated polyps, respectively.

Detailed description

Near-focus (NF) narrow-band imaging (NBI) is an image-magnifying technology which enables optical magnification of up to 65x in near focus (NF) compared with 52x in normal standard focus (SF) with the simple push of a button of the endoscope to be interchangeable between NF and SF. There were few studies comparing diagnostic accuracy between NF and SF in the diagnosis of colorectal polyps. So, our aim of the current study is to compare accuracy of NF NBI compared with SF NBI in the optical diagnosis of neoplastic and non-neoplastic polyp and the accuracy of NF NBI versus SF NBI in distinguishing serrated adenoma from hyperplastic polyp in sessile lesions using histologic evaluation as the gold standard.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Rate of accurate polyp histology predictions by the Endoscopists in the two groups.At the time of procedureMeasure of the percentage of accurate predictions by the endoscopists in the differentiation of neoplastic from non neoplastic colorectal lesions, using the high definition NBI colonoscopy with and without near focus features
Rate of accurate diagnosis of sessile serrated polyps/adenoma by the Endoscopists in the two groups.At the time of procedureMeasure of the percentage od accurate predictions by the endoscopists in the differentiation of sessile serrated polyps/adenoma from hyperplastic polyps, using the high definition NBI colonoscopy with and without near focus features.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
The polyp detection rateAt the time of procedureThe prevalence of patients with at least one polyp was detected
The adenoma detection rateAt the time of procedureThe prevalence of patients with at least one adenoma was detected
Diagnostic CharacteristicsAt the time of procedureCompare the diagnostic characteristic (sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value) using the high definition narrow band imaging colonoscopy with and without near focus features.
