Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The main study parameter is the adenoma detection rate (ADR), which calculated as the number of patients in whom at least one adenoma is detected during the colonoscopy procedure, divided by the total number of patients that underwent the colonoscopy procedure (e.g. PCSC or CC). | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| - The PDR (calculated as the number of patients in whom at least one polyp is detected during the colonoscopy procedure, divided by the total number of patients that underwent the colonoscopy procedure (e.g. PCSC or CC); - The mean number of adenomas detected per patient; - The mean number of polyps detected per patient; - The number of sessile serrated lesions; - The number of advanced adenomas (i.e. adenomas >= 10 mm and/or harbouring a villous component and/or containing HGD; - Size of the lesion; o 0-5 mm, 6-10 mm, 10-20 mm, >20 mm - Location of the lesion; o Caecum, ascending, transverse, descending, sigmoid, rectum - Morphological characteristics of the lesion using the Paris classification; o Ip, Is, IIa, IIb, IIc, III - Histopathological characteristics of the lesion according to the Vienna classification; - The ADR of the first 20% of patients scoped by each endoscopist will be compared with the final 20% of patients in each arm to identify any changes in ADR throughout the trial; - Bowel cleansing levels using the BBPS; - Procedure times with both techniques (i.e. total procedure time, mean polypectomy time and withdrawal time); - (Severe) adverse events up to 30 days post-procedure; - Post-colonoscopy surveillance intervals when applying European and US surveillance guidelines; - The number of false positives; - The reason why a notification is assessed as false positive by the endoscopist (i.e. bubbles, fecal material, etc.); - The number of false negatives. Other study parameters - Gender - Age - Smoking status - BMI - Type of endoscope used - Family history of (colorectal) cancer | — |
