About this study

Official title: The Impact of Distraction on Adenoma Detection Rate in Patients Undergoing Colonoscopy With Air Insufflation, Water Immersion and Water Exchange

The investigators will review video-recordings of three randomized, controlled trials (NCT01535326, 01699399, and 01894191) comparing air insufflation, water immersion and water exchange during colonoscopy. These studies were all conducted at Buddhist Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital.

Read the detailed description

The investigators will review video-recordings of three randomized controlled trials (NCT01535326, 01699399, and 01894191) comparing air insufflation, water immersion and water exchange. These studies were conducted at Buddhist Dalin Tzu Chi Hospital. Permission will be obtained from the local Institutional Review Board (IRB) to review, analyze and report de-identified findings.

Two experienced endoscopists (YHH and CWT) performed all the recorded colonoscopies. Recordings will be selected for review if they are complete examinations; include clear identification of the appendiceal orifice and/or the ileocecal valve, indicating arrival at the cecum; available in the appropriate format for video editing; and contain no patient or endoscopist identifiers. Patients with incomplete recordings and a history of bowel resection will be excluded from analysis. The included video recordings will be edited to remove the insertion phase to blind the study reviewer to the insertion techniques. One blinded reviewer uninvolved in the performance of the colonoscopies will be in charge of evaluating the selected videos, using the criteria described by Yung et al

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Air insufflationProcedure or surgery

    Air insufflation during colonoscopy including insertion phase

  • water immersionProcedure or surgery

    Water will infused during insertion phase and removed during withdrawal phase of colonoscopy.

  • Water exchangeProcedure or surgery

    Water will infused and removed during insertion phase of colonoscopy

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. adenoma detection rate

    Measured: one week after colonoscopy

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Distraction score

    Measured: Immediate after video reviewing

  2. Withdrawal technique as specified by Lee RH (citation 1)

    adequacy of distention (0-5), fold examination (0-5) and cleaning (0-5) for each colonic segment

    Measured: immediate after video reviewing

  3. Bowel preparation score

    Boston bowel preparation score

    Measured: immediate after video reviewing

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Air insufflation, water immersion and Water exchange in people with Adenoma, run by Dalin Tzu Chi General Hospital at 1 site in Taiwan.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Dec 2016. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Taiwan. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

adenoma detection rate (time frame: one week after colonoscopy). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT02978664, which also lists 4 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 1 Dec 2016.
