About this study

Official title: Impact of 9-minute Withdrawal Time on Adenoma Miss Rate: A Multicenter, Prospective, Randomized Controlled Trial of Tandem Colonoscopy

A mean withdrawal time of at least 6 minutes has been considered to be one of the critical quality criterions of colonoscopy. Recently, our group completed a multicenter randomized controlled trial, which proved that prolonging the withdrawal time to 9 minutes could significantly improve the adenoma detection rate of colonoscopists, especially for young colonoscopists and proximal colon. However, it has some limitations in included participates (mixed indications for colonoscopy) and cannot illustrate the impact of withdrawal time on adenoma miss rate in a parallel randomized design. It is necessary to include tandem colonoscopy and adopt strict criteria of the screening population to confirm the effect of the 9-minute withdrawal time on the adenoma miss rate. Therefore, the investigators plan to conduct a multicenter, randomized controlled trial of tandem colonoscopy to compare adenoma miss rate of 6-minute and 9-minute withdrawal in screening population.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • 6-minute then 9-minute withdrawalProcedure or surgery

    Patients in 6-minute then 9-minute withdrawal group will first be carefully observed in 2 minutes then in 3 minutes during each colonic segment.

    In actual performance, withdrawal of the right colon, transverse colon and the left colon can be operated in segmental tandem colonoscopy. Taking the right colon as an example, after the endoscope reaches the cecum, it can be withdrawn to the splenic curvature in 2 minutes, then reentered the cecum and withdrawn to the splenic curvature in 3 minutes.

  • 9-minute then 6-minute withdrawalProcedure or surgery

    Patients in 9-minute then 6-minute withdrawal group will first be carefully observed in 3 minutes then in 2 minutes during each colonic segment.

6-minute then 9-minute withdrawalExperimentalPatients in 6-minute then 9-minute withdrawal group will first be carefully observed in 6 minutes then in 9 minutes during the segmental withdrawal. At 6-minute withdrawal, the left colon, transverse colon and right colon will take 2 minutes each. Then at 9-minute withdrawal, the observation of the left colon, transverse colon and the right colon will be maintained for 3 minutes each. A stop watch will be utilized to remind endoscopists the withdrawal time. The time to perform polyp biopsy will not be included.

What is being measured

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

  1. adenoma miss rate(AMR)

    Adenomas detected in the second-pass examination were defined as missed adenomas; the AMR was defined as follows: number of adenomas detected in the second-pass examination/total number of adenomas detected in the two pass.

    Measured: 60 minutes

Secondary outcomes (4)
  1. advanced adenoma miss rate(AAMR)

    AAMR is the number of advanced adenomas detected in the second-pass examination/total number of advanced adenomas detected in the two pass.

    Measured: 60 minutes

  2. adenoma detection rate(ADR)

    ADR is the number of patients with at least one adenoma, divided by the total number of patients.

    Measured: 60 minutes

  3. adenomas per colonoscopy(APC)

    APC was calculated as the number of adenomas detected during colonoscopy withdraw divided by the number of colonoscopies.

    Measured: 60 minutes

  4. patient-level AMR(pAMR)

    the number of participants with adenomas detected only during the second-pass colonoscopy divided by the total number of participants with adenomas detected during the tandem colonoscopy

    Measured: 60 minutes
