Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Other
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: AQCS-aided group
Patients in AQCS-aided group will go through colonoscopy examination with the assitance of AQCS.
Automatic quality-control system(AQCS), developed based on deep convolutional neural network (DCNN) models, could improve the colonoscopists' performance during withdrawal phase and significantly increase polyp and adenoma detection.
No Intervention: Control group
Patients in control group will go through conventional standard colonoscopy examination without the assistance of the AQCS.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Colorectal adenoma detection rate (ADR)
Time Frame: 10 months
The primary endpoint is the adenoma detection rate (ADR), which is the proportion of patients having one or more adenomas detected by colonoscopy.
10 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Colorectal polyp detection rate (PDR)
Time Frame: 10 months
The polyp detection rate (PDR) is the proportion of patients having one or more polyps detected by colonoscopy.
10 months
The mean number of adenomas detected per colonoscopy (APC)
Time Frame: 10 months
The mean number of adenomas detected per colonoscopy in AQCS and control groups
10 months
The mean number of polyps detected per colonoscopy (PPC)
Time Frame: 10months
The mean number of polyps detected per colonoscopy in AQCS and control groups
10months
Withdrawl time
Time Frame: During procedure
Withdrawl time is defined as the time taken to remove the colonoscope from the cecal pole minus the time of therapeutic interventions or biopsy, until the complete withdrawal of the colonoscope.
During procedure
