Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1) to compare neoplasia detection rates of autofluorescence imaging (AFI) vs. chromoendoscopy (CE) in patients with ulcerative colitis. (2) to define the mean number of neoplastic lesions per patient. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| (1) to compare endoscopic trimodal imaging (ETMI) vs. chromoendoscopy (CE) for differentiating neoplastic from non-neoplastic mucosa and (2) to identify diagnostic endoscopic and pathological markers for differentiation between inflammatory dysplasia, that harbour a significant risk on metachronous dysplasia and cancer and might require proctocolectomy, and a sporadic dysplastic lesion that can be safely removed by endoscopic resection. | — |
