Association Between Longer Cecal Intubation Time and Detection and Miss Rate of Colorectal Neoplasms.

ABSTRACT: Background/Aims: A longer cecal intubation time (CIT) occurs during colonoscopy under difficult insertion conditions, which may hinder meticulous mucosal observation. However, whether a longer CIT has detrimental effects on the detection of adenomas remains unclear. We evaluated the effects of CIT on the detection and miss rates of colorectal neoplasms in asymptomatic participants. Methods: Healthy examinees who underwent colonoscopy between March and July 2011, August 2015, and December 2016 were retrospectively enrolled. The primary outcome was the adenoma detection rate (ADR) across CIT quartiles, while the secondary outcomes included the mean number of adenomas, advanced ADR (AADR), clinically significant serrated lesion (CSSP) detection, adenoma miss rate (AMR), miss rat
