Article Abstract

Background: We have developed the computer-aided detection (CADe) system using an original deep learning algorithm based on a convolutional neural network for assisting endoscopists in detecting colorectal lesions during colonoscopy. The aim of this study was to clarify whether adenoma miss rate (AMR) could be reduced with CADe assistance during screening and surveillance colonoscopy.

Methods: This study was a multicenter randomized controlled trial. Patients aged 40 to 80 years who were referred for colorectal screening or surveillance at four sites in Japan were randomly assigned at a 1:1 ratio to either the "standard colonoscopy (SC)-first group" or the "CADe-first group" to undergo a back-to-back tandem procedure. Tandem colonoscopies were performed on the same day for each participant by the same endoscopist in a preassigned order. All polyps detected in each pass were histopathologically diagnosed after biopsy or resection.

Results: A total of 358 patients were enrolled and 179 patients were assigned to the SC-first group or CADe-first group. The AMR of the CADe-first group was significantly lower than that of the SC-first group (13.8% vs. 36.7%, P < 0.0001). Similar results were observed for the polyp miss rate (14.2% vs. 40.6%, P < 0.0001) and sessile serrated lesion miss rate (13.0% vs. 38.5%, P = 0.03). The adenoma detection rate of CADe-assisted colonoscopy was 64.5%, which was significantly higher than that of standard colonoscopy (53.6%; P = 0.036).

Conclusion: Our study results first showed a reduction in the AMR when assisting with CADe based on deep learning in a multicenter randomized controlled trial.

Objectives: Computer-aided detection (CADe) systems improve adenoma detection during colonoscopy, but the influence of bowel preparation quality on CADe performance is unclear. This study assessed whether different levels of adequate bowel preparation affect CADe effectiveness.

Methods: A post-hoc pooled analysis was conducted using individual patient data from three randomized controlled trials comparing CADe-assisted colonoscopy to standard colonoscopy (SC).

Territorial equity assessment within a colorectal cancer screening program: usefulness of colonoscopy quality indicators.

Objective: The primary goal of a public health system is to ensure universal access to high-quality medical care. However, disparities in health outcomes have been observed across socio-demographic groups, some of them potentially related to their geographical location. To assess territorial equity, the Catalan Colorectal Cancer Screening Program was used, focusing on the adenoma detection rate (ADR) endoscopists.

Background And Aims: Colonoscopy is the gold standard screening modality for colorectal cancer; however, it is operator-dependent and reliant on exam quality. Incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) into colonoscopy may improve adenoma detection and clinical outcomes, but this is a sociotechnical challenge that requires effective human-AI teaming incorporating provider attitudes.

Methods: We conducted a systematic review of studies evaluating attitudes and perspectives of providers toward AI-assisted colonoscopy.

Background: Guidelines recommend leaving in situ rectosigmoid polyps diagnosed during colonoscopy that are 5 mm or smaller if the endoscopist optically predicts them to be non-neoplastic. However, no randomised controlled trial has been done to examine the efficacy and safety of this strategy.

Methods: This open-label, multicentre, non-inferiority, randomised controlled trial enrolled adults age 18 years or older undergoing colonoscopy for screening, surveillance, or clinical indications across four Italian centres.

Background: The surgical management of patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) has considerably evolved through recent years. Nonetheless, benefits and harms of several laser procedures are still to be determined. The study aimed to report perioperative and early functional results of patients treated with anatomical photo vaporization of the prostate (aPVP).
