Adenoma Detection Rate With Position Change at Colonoscopy

NCT00234650 · Status: COMPLETED · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL · Enrollment: 130

Last updated 2009-04-02

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

The hypothesis to be tested is that position changes during the withdrawal phase of colonoscopy leads to a higher adenoma (polyp) detection rate because of better distension of the colon. Since adenomas are precancerous lesions the enhanced adenoma detection will increase the success of colorectal cancer screening programmes. This study will provide evidence for the value of position changes and encourage endoscopist to adopt position change as a routine in their practice.

May 2007: protocol amendment to include additional prospective analysis using High Definition TV (HDTV).
