Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Adenoma detection rate (ADR): The total number of adenomatous lesions (histological proven) divided by the number of patients per arm in all four groups. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1. The total number of polyps (adenomatous polyps, hyperplastic polyps, serrated adenomas and inflammatory polyps); 2. The total number and percentage of non-polypoid or flat adenomas (Paris classification 0-IIa-c); 3. Proportion of patients with adenoma; 4. Proportion of patients with more than one polyp; 5. The total number and percentage of small polypoid (< 5mm) or flat lesions (height < ½ diameter); 6. The total number of advanced adenoma defined as adenoma with high grade dysplasia, villous components, intramucosal carcinoma and angio-invasive growth; 7. Number of missed lesions. This will be assessed after a follow up period of 60 months. Patients will be asked by a questionnaire whether they have had any colonoscopy within 60 months of the study period and if so, if any (pre)malignant lesions are found. | — |
