background: early diagnosis and endoscopic resection of adenomatous polyps is the main approach for screening and prevention of colorectal cancer (crc). we aimed to assess polyp detection rate (pdr) and to characterize demographic, clinical, and pathological features of colorectal polyps in an iranian population. methods: we retrospectively analyzed the data from 5427 colonoscopies performed du...

Abstract Introduction Colorectal cancer is the 3rd most common in UK. The higher Adenoma Detection Rate during colonoscopy associated with reduction mortality incidence of colorectal cancer. Endoscopists less than 20% ADR directly proportional to risk development an interval aim this study was calculate and Polyp for each endoscopist assess performance unit as well individuals. Method A retrosp...

BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS  Methods to improve polyp detection during colonoscopy have been investigated, with conflicting results for warm water irrigation. Carbon Dioxide (CO 2) warmed to 37 °C may have similar or more pronounced effects on bowel motility. This study aimed to assess whether warmed CO 2 would improve polyp detection compared to room temperature air insufflation. PATIENTS AND ...

Objective: Linked Color Imaging (LCI) is a newly developed endoscopic imaging technique, which has been proved to be able to improve the diagnostic efficacy. Here, we aimed to investigate the effects of nurses assisted LCI chromoendoscopy on the detection of colonic polyp. Methods: A total of 200 patients who underwent colonoscopy from August 2015 to October 2016 in our endoscopy center were en...

The role of nurse participation (NP) in colonoscopy observation for polyp and adenoma detection is unclear. This study aimed to evaluate whether nurse participation can improve polyp and adenoma detection. Patients and Methods. The PUBMED, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) published in English. The outcome measurements included (1) the ...

The aim of the paper was to propose a score for performance evaluation in colonoscopy units. METHOD We proposed a score (CDCD score - Cecal intubation, polyp Detection rate, Cleansing and Documentation of cecal intubation) based on the following parameters that assess the quality of colonoscopy units: total colonoscopies rate, polyp detection rate, rate of cecal intubation photo record, rate ...

Abstract Aims The Joint Advisory Group on GI Endoscopy (JAG) has set key quality indicators for colonoscopy, which includes an adenoma detection rate of a minimum 15%. Given the difficulty in reporting rate, JAG have stated that polyp is accepted as surrogate measure. Our aim was to assess whether can be used substitute marker detection, by examining histology samples taken polyps determine wha...
