The Effect of Routine Video-recording on Colonoscopy Quality Indicators.

August 3, 2015 updated by: Maria Sklodowska-Curie National Research Institute of Oncology

The Effect of Routine Video-recording on Colonoscopy Quality Indicators: a Cluster Randomized Trial.

Routine video recording of the colonoscopy examination has been proposed as a simple and easy to implement method that could improve the quality of colonoscopy. The purpose of this study is to investigate whether implementation of routine video recording of screening colonoscopy withdrawal is effective as a means of supporting quality performance of colonoscopy. The study will be performed in 8 screening centers within the framework of a national colonoscopy screening program in Poland (the Polish Colonoscopy Screening Platform; PCSP). Individuals aged 55-64 years are eligible to participate in the PCSP. In the run-in period colonoscopy quality measures will be monitored through a dedicated joint database. Then eligible screening centres will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the video recording group or the control group. Screening centres assigned to the video recording group will receive videorecorders and DVDs and will be asked to video record all screening colonoscopies (only withdrawal). Control group will be allowed to record colonoscopies on demand only. Then , the colonoscopy quality measures will again be monitored through a dedicated joint database. All the recorded DVDs will be reviewed to verify ceacal intubation and withdrawal time by the PCSP team.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Child
  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Genders Eligible for Study

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm

Participant Group / Arm

A group or subgroup of participants in a clinical trial that receives a specific intervention/treatment, or no intervention, according to the trial's protocol.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Experimental: Routine video recording group
Intervention: Procedure: Implementation of routine videorecording of colonoscopy withdrawal
Procedure: Implementation of routine videorecording
All screening centres (clusters) assigned to the routine video recording group will receive an appropriate number of video recorders and DVDs for each colonoscopy room. Screening centre coordinators will be responsible for the implementation of routine video recording of all screening colonoscopies (only withdrawal) in the centres. Every three months screening centre coordinators will be asked to send back all recorded DVDs. All the recorded DVDs will be reviewed to verify ceacal intubation and withdrawal time by the PCSP team and then stored.
Active Comparator: Control group
Intervention: Behavioral: No routine videorecording (on demand videorecording possible)
Behavioral: No routine videorecording
Screening centres (clusters) assigned to the control group will not receive video recorders and DVDs but will be allowed to record colonoscopies on demand.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Change in screening centre adenoma detection rate before and after intervention
Time Frame: From the time of randomization up to 10 months (the end of screening program annual edition)
Proportion of patients with at least one adenoma identified (measured in screening program database).
From the time of randomization up to 10 months (the end of screening program annual edition)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Reported and audited ceacal intubation rates
Time Frame: From the time of randomization up to 10 months (the end of screening program annual edition)
Proportion of complete colonoscopies (measured in screening program database; audited ceacal intubation rates will be assessed through videorecording review)
