Longer Right Colon Withdrawal Time and Retroflexion Duration Significantly Increases Adenoma Detection Rate: A Randomized Controlled Trial at Three Endoscopy Centers
Purpose Detection of adenomas is the foundation of colorectal cancer screening utilizing screening colonoscopies. Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is an increasingly utilized core quality measure for colonoscopies. Colonoscopy is an effective tool to prevent colon cancer but missed lesions can lead to …

The prevalence and characteristics of incidental colorectal polyps in patients undergoing colonoscopy at a South African tertiary institution
… data on the frequency, and pattern of colorectal adenomas in subSaharan Africa, to guide diagnostic and preventative strategies for CRC in the region. This study aimed to describe polyp characteristics, and adenoma frequency in patients at average risk of CRC undergoing colonoscopy for bowel …

Real-time Quality Feedback System for Screening Colonoscopy
… fast withdrawal time is highly correlated with adenoma detection rate. Current metric tools for these parameters are not objective. This limitation leads to the formalization of the present study, which focuses on the development of a real-time, novel colonoscopy evaluation system and the …

Sessile serrated lesions in focus: Examining temporal trends, patient risk factors, and the role of the endoscopist in lesion detection
Serrated polyps of the colorectum have become increasingly recognized as an important clinical entity, as these precursor lesions are hypothesized to be responsible for up to 25% of sporadic cases of colorectal cancer. Much confusion exists regarding these polyps; particularly, their classification …

Endoscopy-focused primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of colorectal cancer
… of colorectal lesions (e.g. colorectal adenomas and sessile serrated adenomas/polyps). This was a prospective study carried out at the Lyell McEwin Hospital (South Australia) examining whether and by how much factors such as alcohol consumption and smoking are associated with colorectal …
