Effect of Water Exchange Plus Acetic Acid Staining on the Detection of Flat Polyps During Colonoscopy

Not Applicable
Conditions
Adenoma Colon
Interventions
Other: Water exchange colonoscopy
Other: acetic acid staining
Registration Number
NCT04464135
Lead Sponsor
Air Force Military Medical University, China
Brief Summary

Our previous study (Am. J. Gastroenterol. 2017 04;112(4)) showed that water exchange (WE) colonoscopy was able to increase the detection of flat adenomas as well as overall ADR. We hypothesized that WE based whole-colon acetic acid(AA) staining might be useful to improve the detection of flat lesions compared with WE alone.

Detailed Description

Water exchange colonoscopy was performed as described previously (Am. J. Gastroenterol. 2017 04;112(4)). Patients were randomly allocated to WE group or WE+AA group. In WE+AA group, water containing 1% of AA was used during insertion of colonoscopy instead of water alone. A bottle of 20ml pure AA was placed abutting the water pump, which make it possible to keep patients blinded to group allocation. Endoscopist using a high-definition wide-angle Olympus or Fujinum colonoscope performed all of the colonoscopies, with a withdrawal time of at least 6 min. The observation was initially performed without the assistance of cap or the use of magnification or electronic staining (NBI, BLI, LCI or AFI et al.). Scopolamine butylbromide or glucogon was not routinely administrated.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Number of flat polyps per patient9 months

average numbers of flat polyps, defined by Paris classification IIa/IIb/IIc, for each patient

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Adverse events9 months

the rate of bleeding and perforation during colonoscopy procedure and abdominal pain, diarrhea, hematochezia and change of defecation habit Within one week.

Overall ADR9 months

Adenoma detection rate, defined as the proportion of subjects with at least one adenoma of any size, in each group.

Advanced ADR9 months

Advanced adenoma detection rate. Advanced adenoma: any with 3 or more adenomas of any size, 1 or more large adenomas 1 cm, or 1 or more adenomas with villous architecture or highgrade dysplasia.

SSA/P detection rate9 months

SSA/P detection rate, defined as the proportion of subjects with at least one sessile serrated adenoma/polyp (SSA/P) of any size, in each group.

Flat neoplasms located in proximal colon9 months

Low-grade adenoma, adenoma with villous components, high-grade adenoma, noninvasive carcinoma, and invasive carcinoma in proximal colon
