Lower adenoma detection rate in anesthesia assisted colonoscopy: a retrospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

As anesthesia assisted (AA) colonoscopy becomes increasingly popular, there has been concern about its impact on the quality of colonoscopy examinations. We aimed to clarify the impact of anesthesia assistance on the adenoma detection rate (ADR) and non-adenomatous polyp detection rate (PDR) of colonoscopy.

Methods

We collected data from patients undergoing colonoscopy throughout the year 2023 at our institution, with a total of 16,465 cases identified for potential analysis. After using propensity score matching (PSM) to minimize the influence of other variables on the study outcomes, there were 6,094 cases remaining for analysis in both the AA group and non-AA group, respectively. Then, we compared the ADR and PDR between the two groups and analyzed the colon lo
