Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

In a cluster-randomized study compare if feedback from two computerized feedback systems doing a colonoscopy (CoPS and CoRS) can improve the adenoma detection rate and decrease patient discomfort.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Background:

Approximately 4,600 persons get colon cancer annually in Denmark and it is the second most common cause of cancer death. Survival is highly dependent on early detection through a colonoscopy. A thorough colonoscopy is essential to detect early cancers but unfortunately the quality of colonoscopies varies widely between operators. A study of 314,872 colonoscopies performed by 136 gastroenterologists found that the adenoma detection rate (ADR) ranged from 7 - 53% and was inversely associated with the risks of fatal interval cancer. The investigators have developed to tools that can generate automatic, computerized feedback in order to make a more thorough procedure and reduce patient discomfort, the Colonoscopy Progression Score (CoPS) and Colonoscopy Retraction Score (CoRS)

Objectives:

The investigators predict that live-feedback from CoPS and CoRS doing a colonoscopy can improve the ADR and subsequent prevent colorectal cancer. The aim of this project is to:

1. In a cluster-randomized study compare if feedback from CoPS and CoRS can improve the adenoma detection rate and patient satisfaction for individual operators and the department as a whole.
2. Make an immediate measure to assess the quality of individual colonoscopy performance.

Materials and methodology:

As a randomized controlled cluster trial following a stepped-wedge program, feedback doing a colonoscopy from these (CoPS and CoRS) will be tested compared to no feedback. Three test departments consisting of three University Hospital in the Capital region of Denmark will be included.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Feedback

Feedback system through CoPS and CoRS

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Colonoscopy Progression Score (CoPS)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Colonoscopy Progression Score consists of five different aspects: Travel length, Tip progression, chase efficiency, shaft movement without tip progression and looping.

Colonoscopy Retraction Score (CoRS)

Intervention Type DEVICE

The Colonoscopy Retraction Score consists of three different aspects: Tip Retraction, Retraction Efficiency, and Retraction Distance.

Standard procedure

Performing the standard procedure in accordance with the departments usual conduct.

Group Type NO_INTERVENTION

No interventions assigned to this group
