Does i-scan improve adenoma detection rate compared to high-definition colonoscopy? A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT: Background and study aims  Recent studies evaluated the impact of i-scan in improving the adenoma detection rate (ADR) compared to high-definition (HD) colonoscopy. We aimed to systematically review and analyze the impact of this technique. Methods  A thorough search of the following databases was undertaken: PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Cochrane and Web of Science. Full-text RCTs and cohort studies directly comparing i-scan and HD colonoscopy were deemed eligible for inclusion. Dichotomous outcomes were pooled and compared using random effects model and DerSimonian-Laird approach. For each outcome, relative risk (RR), 95 % confidence interval (CI), and P value was generated. P  < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results  A total of five studies
