Clinical Trial: Endoscopic Size Assessment of Advanced Adenomatous Polyps

Study Status: Recruiting
Recruit Status: Recruiting
Study Type: Observational

Official Title: Endoscopic Size Assessment of Advanced Adenomatous Polyps; Inter Observer Variations

Brief Summary: The investigators are retrospectively comparing detection rates of adenomatous polyps, advanced adenomas, and size assessment of the polyps among Rush University Medical Center endoscopists. The investigators plan to review whether the size assessment of adenomatous polyps affected the surveillance protocols and if the location of polyps detected affected the detection rates.

Detailed Summary:
Sponsor: Rush University Medical Center

Current Primary Outcome:

  • Adenomatous Polyp Detection Rate [ Time Frame: one year ]
    Assessing for advanced adenomas (including location).
  • Endoscopic Size Assessment Versus Pathological Size Assessment [ Time Frame: one year ]
    Size of polyps at time of endoscopic procedure will be compared to the size of the same polyp by pathological assessment.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome: Retroflexion as an indication of adenoma detection rate in colorectal cancer screening [ Time Frame: one year ]

Retroflexion is a common but not mandatory practice in colonoscopy which as not been systematically studied in terms of polyp detection. Charts will be reviewed to determine whether retroflexion was performed.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
