Adenoma detection rate using narrow-band imaging is inferior to high-definition white light colonoscopy in screening and surveillance colonoscopies in daily clinical care: A randomized controlled trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Despite recent advances in endoscopic technology adenoma miss rate still is up to 20% contributing to interval cancers. Improved imaging modalities have been introduced to increase adenoma detection rate (ADR). Recently, narrow-band imaging (NBI) (Exera II series, Olympus Corporation) was not significantly better than high-definition white light colonoscopy (HD-WLC). An improved second generation of NBI (190-NBI) is characterized by better illumination of the bowel lumen and may be associated with a higher ADR.

Methods

We performed a prospective randomized study on patients referred to the Jena University Hospital for screening or surveillance colonoscopy between January 2015 and April 2017. Participating endoscopists were divided into 2 subgroups depending on the
