Research on standardization of colonoscopy using an ultra-thin instrument
Phase 3
- Conditions
- colorectal disease
- Registration Number
- JPRN-UMIN000010362
- Lead Sponsor
- Fukushima Medical University
- Brief Summary
RESULTS: There was a significant difference in reported pain using the numerical rating scale (median, UTC 1 vs PDC 4, P < 0.0001). Cecal intubation rates were 97.4% in UTC and 92.1% in PDC (P = 0.36), and ileal intubation rates were 82.0% and 89.4% (P = 0.76), respectively. However, median times to cecum were significantly longer using UTC compared with PDC (15.2 min vs 11.1 min, P = 0.022). Adenoma detection rates were 30.7% in UTC and 26.3% in PDC (P = 0.80). CONCLUSIONS: Colonoscopy using UTC was almost equivalent to that of PDC in older female patients, with significantly less pain compared with PDC. UTC may be an alternative to PDC for the difficult colon.
