Read the detailed description
The study aim to capture key quality indicators and patient satisfaction for 800 patients referred for a colonoscopy at Aalborg University Hospital. The patient population is mix of screening and non-screening colonoscopies seen at our out-patient clinic.
Each Colonoscopy is registered using a specially designed registration form and a more detailed form relating to the colonoscopy itself. The data collected includes: The Colonoscopist endoscopy experience and education, Medicine use, Colonoscopy duration, Unadjusted Caecum Intubations rate, Polyp detection rate, Polyps removed, Cancer detection rate and Nurse assisted Gloucester Comfort score.
Patient level data were recorded using a questionaire with 6 questions regarding satisfaction, pain, discomfort etc on a 10 cm analog scale.
