Factors predicting conversion from colon capsule endoscopy to conventional optical endoscopy-findings from the CESCAIL study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Colon capsule endoscopy (CCE) has become an alternative to traditional colonoscopy for low-risk patients. However, CCE's low completion rate and inability to take biopsies or remove polyps often result in a CCE-to-conventional colonoscopy conversion (CCC).

Objective(s)

The aim is to identify the factors that predict issues with bowel cleansing, capsule excretion rates, pathology detection, and the need for CCC.

Methods

This prospective study analysed data from patients who underwent CCE as part of the CESCAIL study from Nov 2021 till June 2024. Predictive factors were examined for their association with CCC, including patient demographics, comorbidities, medications, and laboratory results from symptomatic and surveillance groups.
