The Auxiliary Effect of Artificial Intelligence in the Detection of Precancerous Lesions in Proximal Colon Cancer: A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Study

The investigators conducted a multicenter randomized controlled trial to explore the adjuvant effect of artificial intelligence in the detection of precancerous lesions in the proximal colon.This is a prospective, multicenter, single-blind, parallel randomized controlled trial.During the colonoscopy retraction process, the investigators aimed to compare the detection rates of proximal colon adenomas with and without the assistance of an AI(Artificial Intelligence) diagnostic device.

Design Details

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
AI group
Full AI assistance was used throughout the standard colonoscopy procedure.
Series group
After normal withdrawal of the colonoscope to the splenic flexure during standard colonoscopy, full AI assistance was initiated. The colonoscope was re-entered to the ileocecal region for observation. Any missed lesions were recorded.
Standard group
The standard colonoscopy procedure was performed as usual

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adenoma detection rate
Time Frame: Day 1
The proportion of patients who have at least one adenoma detected during colonoscopy examination
Day 1
Average adenoma detection rate
Time Frame: Day 1
The result is the number of adenomas detected by colonoscopy divided by the total number of colonoscopies performed.
Day 1
