9 Minutes for Colonoscopy Withdrawal

Not Applicable
Completed
Conditions
Colorectal Adenomas
Colon Polyps
Registration Number
NCT03399045
Lead Sponsor
Changhai Hospital
Brief Summary

A withdrawal time of at least 6 minutes has been considered to be necessary to guarantee the adenoma detection rate and the critical quality criterion of colonoscopy. However, several large observational investigations demonstrated that 9 minutes will be in favor of higher adenoma detection rate and lower risk of interval colorectal cancer, when compared with 6-minute withdrawal. Meanwhile, a few studies also indicated that no significant benefit were observed in longer withdrawal time. Up to now, no randomized controlled trials have been conducted to give a definitive conclusion. Therefore, we performed a multicenter, prospective, randomized Controlled trial to compare adenoma detection rate of 6-minute and 9-minute withdrawal in colonoscopy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
adenoma detection rate(ADR)30mins

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

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
adenomas per colonoscopy(APC)30mins

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