Application of colonoscopic auxiliary devices in reducing the polyp miss rate: a prospective randomized controlled study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

To evaluate the effect of a novel-designed colonoscopic distal attachment on the diagnosis of polyps during colonoscopy.

Method

All consecutive patients who underwent routine colonoscopic examinations at Tongji Hospital endoscopy centers in China were enrolled. Participants were randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the auxiliary devices colonoscopy (Experimental Group) or standard colonoscopy groups (Control Group). Adenoma detection rate (ADR), polyp detection rate (PDR), inspection time, duration of treatment and adverse events were recorded.

Result

A total of 264 patients were randomized into the experimental group (EG, n = 132) and the control group (CG, n = 132). The PDR in the EG was significantly higher than in the CG (p = 0.013), while no significant
