Brief Summary

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

The cecal intubation time (CIT) refers to the time required for the tip of the colonoscope to reach the cecum from passing through the anus. A prolonged CIT is considered a marker of difficulty in colonoscopy. CIT greater than 10 minutes is considered a difficult colonoscopy. Studies have identified factors that influence CIT, including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, bowel preparation, prior abdominal surgery, etc. Personality traits have been found to be associated with the onset of many diseases, such as hypertension and A-type personality, depression and neurotic personality. According to the Big Five personality theory, personality can be decomposed into five dimensions: openness (O), conscientiousness (C), extraversion (E), agreeableness (A), and neuroticism (N). There is a lack of research on the association between personality traits and colonoscopy insertion time, and the purpose of this study is to investigate whether personality, BMI, age, gender, anxiety and depression index, metabolic diseases, and abdominal pelvic surgery history lead to prolonged colonoscopy insertion time and difficult colonoscopy, and to identify significant variables as predictors by using machine learning methods to build a clinical diagnostic model to predict colonoscopy insertion time and identify difficult colonoscopy patients.

Detailed Description

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

The cecal intubation time (CIT) refers to the time required for the tip of the colonoscope to reach the cecum from passing through the anus. A prolonged CIT is considered a marker of difficulty in colonoscopy. A CIT greater than 10 minutes is considered a difficult colonoscopy. A longer CIT is associated with a lower adenoma detection rate, as it is an indicator of an ineffective colonoscopy, while a shorter CIT will provide the endoscopist with more time for colonoscope retrieval, increasing the likelihood of adenoma detection.

Research has identified factors that influence CIT, including age, gender, body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, bowel preparation, and prior abdominal surgery history.

Personality traits have been found to be associated with the onset of many diseases, such as hypertension and A-type personality, depression, and neurotic personality. According to the Big Five personality theory, personality can be decomposed into five dimensions: openness (O), conscientiousness (C), extraversion (E), agreeableness (A), and neuroticism (N). The Big Five personality theory is a commonly used personality typology in scientific research and has been confirmed in numerous studies. The Big Five Personality Inventory (BFI) is a tool for detecting the classification of the Big Five personality traits. The Chinese version of the Big Five Personality Inventory and norms were jointly revised by Professor Li Jian from the Department of Psychology, Beijing Normal University, and the scale norms were constructed to include people of different age groups. The scale has shown excellent reliability and validity.

The discovery of the brain-gut axis suggests that neural activity can affect the intestinal activity in various ways directly or indirectly, thereby affecting the difficulty of colonoscopy, but there is still a lack of research on the relationship between personality types and difficult colonoscopy, and the specific correlation has not been clarified. What's more important is that previous studies often used ordinary least squares regression (OLS regression) or logistic regression The purpose of this study is to investigate whether personality, BMI, age, gender, anxiety and depression index, metabolic diseases, and history of abdominal and pelvic surgery are associated with prolonged colonoscopy insertion time and difficult colonoscopy, and to construct a clinical diagnostic model by using machine learning methods to predict colonoscopy insertion time and identify difficult colonoscopy patients based on significant variables.

The basic research framework is designed as follows:

Invite patients scheduled for colonoscopy to fill out the "Personality Tendency and Colonoscopy Survey Questionnaire" before colonoscopy.

Record the completion of colonoscopy and CIT for patients during colonoscopy and record the preparation of the colon and the presence of serious organic diseases.

Collect other patient information, including age, gender, and history of major diseases.

All patients included in the study should meet the inclusion criteria and not meet the exclusion criteria.

Organize the data and divide the patients into two groups based on whether their CIT time is greater than 10 minutes.

Use t-tests and chi-square analysis to determine whether each factor is related to difficult colonoscopy, with a significance threshold of P\<0.05.

Include significant variables in logistic regression for initial analysis and calculate OR.

Use LASSO regression for sparse selection and include non-zero features in the machine learning model construction.

Divide the data into training set and test set and construct random forest models, artificial neural network models, and support vector machine models, etc. Through receiver operating curve (ROC), precision, accuracy, recall rates, etc., the model's error can be evaluated, and the model's generalization ability can be compared.

Study Groups

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

High neuroticism score group

The neuroticism score was higher than the average score identified by the norm

Fill in personality questionnaires

Intervention Type OTHER

For patients who need to undergo colonoscopy, we invite them to fill out a personality survey questionnaire after obtaining their informed consent. The questionnaire contains 60 survey questions, which cover the five dimensions of the Big Five personality traits. Each question has five options, corresponding to the five states of very disagree to very agree. The questionnaire was developed based on the Chinese population and has four norms applicable to different age groups to ensure the reliability of the questionnaire.

Low neuroticism score group

The neuroticism score was lower than the average score identified by the norm

Fill in personality questionnaires

Intervention Type OTHER

For patients who need to undergo colonoscopy, we invite them to fill out a personality survey questionnaire after obtaining their informed consent. The questionnaire contains 60 survey questions, which cover the five dimensions of the Big Five personality traits. Each question has five options, corresponding to the five states of very disagree to very agree. The questionnaire was developed based on the Chinese population and has four norms applicable to different age groups to ensure the reliability of the questionnaire.
