BACKGROUND AND STUDY AIMS: Colonoscopy is widely used to detect and remove precancerous polyps, but fails to detect some polyps. Recent studies evaluating different image-enhanced methods have revealed conflicting results. The efficacy of colonoscopy imaging with simultaneous use of commercially available improvements, including high definition narrow band imaging (HD-NBI), and monochromatic charge-coupled device (CCD) video, was compared with a widely used standard definition white light (SDWL) colonoscopy system for detecting colorectal polyps. The primary aim was to determine whether the combination of image-enhanced colonoscopy systems resulted in fewer missed polyps compared with conventional colonoscopy . PATIENTS AND METHODS: In a randomized controlled trial (Clinicaltrials.gov. study number NCT00825292) patients having routine screening and surveillance underwent tandem colonoscopies with SDWL and image-enhanced (HD-NBI) colonoscopy . The main outcome measurement was the per-polyp false-negative ("miss") rate . Secondary outcomes were adenoma miss rate, and per-patient polyp and adenoma miss rates . RESULTS: 100 patients were randomized and 96 were included in the analysis . In total, 177 polyps were detected; of these, 72 (41 %) were adenomatous. Polyp and adenoma miss rates for SDWL colonoscopy were 57 % (60/105) and 49 % (19/39); those for image-enhanced colonoscopy were 31 % (22/72) and 27 % (9/33) (P = 0.005 and P = 0.036 for polyps and adenomas, respectively). Image-enhanced and SDWL approaches had similar per-patient miss rates for polyps (6/35 vs. 9/32, P = 0.27) and adenomas (4/22 vs. 8/20, P = 0.11). CONCLUSIONS: Utilization of multiple recent improvements in image-enhanced colonoscopy was associated with a reduced miss rate for all polyps and for adenomatous polyps. It is not known which individual feature or combination of image-enhancement features led to the improvement. © Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New York.
