April 11, 2023 updated by: Chi-Liang Cheng, Evergreen General Hospital, Taiwan

Water Exchange Colonoscopy Decreased Adenoma Miss Rates in the Right and Proximal Colon: An Observational Study Using A Tandem Colonoscopy Approach

This was an observational study comparing consecutive group of WE and CO2 insufflation in terms of right and proximal colon AMR by tandem colonoscopy.

Study Overview

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access 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.

Detailed Description

This was a prospective observational study to assess how WE colonoscopy would fit into clinical and research practices. We first observed whether optimal WE colonoscopy decreased the AMR in the right and proximal colon in a tandem approach. If WE did lower the AMR as compared with data in the literature, a randomized RCT deserves to be studied. For the calculation of sample size in the upcoming RCT, the AMR in the CO2 group would be collected. The differences of the AMRs in the right and proximal colon determined by tandem colonoscopy using WE or CO2 insufflation would then be compared.

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

20 years and older (Adult, Older Adult)

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

No

Sampling Method

Non-Probability Sample

Study Population

86 eligible patients completed first-pass colonoscopy with WE insertion and CO2 withdrawal, followed by back-to-back second-pass colonoscopy with CO2 insertion and CO2 withdrawal during July 9 to Oct 12, 2018; Another 86 eligible patient completed first-pass colonoscopy with CO2 insertion and CO2 withdrawal, followed by back-to-back second-pass colonoscopy with CO2 insertion and CO2 withdrawal during Oct 15 to Nov 21, 2018.

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Consecutive patients aged 20 years or older undergoing colonoscopy for screening and surveillance indications were considered for enrollment.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • familial adenomatous polyposis and hereditary non-polyposis CRC syndrome, personal history of inflammatory bowel disease, previous colonic resection, inability to achieve cecal intubation, obstructive lesions of the colon, poor colon preparation, inability to completely remove a polyp, gastrointestinal bleeding, allergy to fentanyl or midazolam, American Society of Anesthesiology classification of physical status grade 3 or higher, mental retardation, pregnancy, and refusal to provide a written informed consent.

Water exchange colonoscopy
During the insertion phase of the first-pass colonoscopy, water exchange (WE) method was used. WE entailed the infusion of water to open the lumen and sequentially suction of water. When the cecum was reached and after most of the water was suctioned to collapse the cecal lumen, CO2 was opened during the withdrawal phase of the first-pass colonoscopy. After the first complete withdrawal of the colonoscope, a second colonoscopic examination aided by CO2 insufflation during insertion and withdrawal was performed by the same endoscopist. The colonoscope was reinserted into the cecum as quickly as possible, and the entire colon was re-examined. Polyp resection was carried out during insertion and withdrawal of the first- and second-pass examinations.
Procedure: Water exchange colonoscopy
During back-to-back colonoscopy, the first examination was completed with water exchange during insertion and CO2 insufflation during withdrawal. The second examination was completed with CO2 insufflation during both the insertion and withdrawal.
Procedure: CO2 insufflation colonoscopy
During back-to-back colonoscopy, the first examination was completed with CO2 insufflation during both the insertion and withdrawal. The second examination was also completed with CO2 insufflation during both the insertion and withdrawal.
CO2 insufflation colonoscopy
During the first-pass colonoscopy, the procedure was performed in the usual fashion, with minimal CO2 insufflation to aid insertion. Cleaning of colon was predominantly performed during withdrawal. After the first complete withdrawal of the colonoscope, a second colonoscopic examination aided by CO2 insufflation during insertion and withdrawal was performed by the same endoscopist. The colonoscope was reinserted into the cecum as quickly as possible, and the entire colon was re-examined. Polyp resection was carried out during insertion and withdrawal of the first- and second-pass examinations.
Procedure: CO2 insufflation colonoscopy
During back-to-back colonoscopy, the first examination was completed with CO2 insufflation during both the insertion and withdrawal. The second examination was also completed with CO2 insufflation during both the insertion and withdrawal.

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
Percentage of Overall Detected Adenomas Missed During the First Right-Colon Colonoscopy
Time Frame: During procedure, approximately 1.5 hours
Right-colon (cecum, A-colon, hepatic flexure) adenomas detected on the second-pass examination were used for the calculation of adenoma miss. Adenoma miss rate was calculated as the number of adenomas missed in the first colonoscopy divided by the total number of adenomas detected during both the first and second colonoscopies.
During procedure, approximately 1.5 hours
Percentage of Overall Detected Adenomas Missed During the First Proximal-Colon Colonoscopy
Time Frame: During procedure, approximately 1.5 hours
Proximal-colon (cecum, A-colon, hepatic flexure, T-colon) adenomas detected on the second-pass examination were used for the calculation of adenoma miss. Adenoma miss rate was calculated as the number of adenomas missed in the first colonoscopy divided by the total number of adenomas detected during both the first and second colonoscopies.
During procedure, approximately 1.5 hours
