About this study

Official title: Colorectal Cancer Control in Low Resource Countries: Results From a Prospective Cohort Study of Patients at High-risk for Colorectal Cancer

Patient age 45 year old and above who presented with rectal bleeding at three tertiary hospitals in South West Nigeria were invited for colonoscopy. The clinical information of the patients and the colonoscopy data were analyzed

Read the detailed description

Patient age 45 year old and above who presented with rectal bleeding at Obafemi Awolowo University Teaching Hospitals Complex, Ile Ife, Nigeria, University College Hospital, Ibadan, Nigeria, and University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital, Ilorin Nigeria were invited for colonoscopy. Categorical variables were compared using χ2-test or Fisher's exact test while the Kruskal-Wallis test was used for quantitative variables. Multivariate analysis was performed using logistic regression model. All statistical tests were two-sided and p-values below 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Statistical analysis was carried out using SAS 9.4 and R 3.3.1.

Validation setAll the patients with rectal bleeding who had colonoscopy performed at University College Hospital, Ibadan and University of Ilorin Teaching Hospital
Receives: Procedure: Colonoscopy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. To determine colonoscopy polyp and cancer detection rate

    The hypothesis for this study was that colonoscopy surveillance of a high-risk cohort of patients with rectal bleeding would demonstrate that 10-20% of these patients have pre-malignant colorectal polyps(adenomas) or cancers.

    Measured: 2 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. To detect colorectal cancer early using symptoms based assessment

    The long-term impact of identifying at risk patients and patients with early stage cancers may be a reduction in mortality from colorectal cancer in low- and middle- income countries

    Measured: 2 years
