- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Primary aims <br /><br>1) Number of training rounds needed to reach clinically acceptable prediction of histology (accuracy > 90%) for colorectal lesions <br /><br><br>2) To assess whether qualified endoscopists are able to maintain this performance over a year, and if feedback is of additional value <br><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary aims:<br /><br>1) number of endoscopists reaching NPV > 90% for predicting neoplastic histology in continuation phase<br /><br>2) number of correctly advised surveillance intervals<br /><br>3) number of correctly predicted diminutive (1-5mm) lesions<br /><br>4) number of surveillance intervals predicted on endoscopic diagnosis<br /><br>5) number of correctly diagnosed small (6-9mm) lesions<br /><br>6) budget impact analysis<br>
