Is the Transverse Colon Overlooked? Establishing a Comprehensive Colonoscopy Database from a Multicenter Cluster-Randomized Controlled Trial.

ABSTRACT: Background and Study Aim: Colonoscopy holds the highest volume of all endoscopic procedures, allowing for large colonoscopy databases to serve as valuable datasets for quality assurance. We aimed to build a comprehensive colonoscopy database for quality assurance and the training of future AIs. Materials and Methods: As part of a cluster-randomized controlled trial, a designated, onsite medical student was used to acquire procedural and patient-specific data, ensuring a high level of data integrity. The following data were thereby collected for all colonoscopies: full colonoscopy vides, colonoscope position (XYZ-coordinates), intraprocedural timestamps, pathological report, endoscopist description, endoscopist planning, and patient-reported discomfort. Results: A total
