| 1 | Effectiveness of very low-volume preparation for colonoscopy:A prospective, multicenter observational study显示文摘BACKGROUND The effectiveness of colonoscopy strictly depends on adequate bowel cleansing.Recently,a 1 L polyethylene glycol plus ascorbate(PEG-ASC)solution(Plenvu;Norgine,Harefield,United Kingdom)has been introduced on the evidence of three phase-3 randomized controlled trials,but it had never been tested in the real-life.AIM To assess the effectiveness and tolerability of the 1 L preparation compared to 4 L and 2 L-PEG solutions in a real-life setting.METHODS All patients undergoing a screening or diagnostic colonoscopy after a 4,2 or 1 L PEG preparation,were consecutively enrolled in 5 Italian centers from September 2018 to February 2019.The primary endpoints of the study were the assessment of bowel cleansing success and high-quality cleansing of the right colon.The secondary endpoints were the evaluation of tolerability,adherence and safety of the different bowel preparations.Bowel cleansing was assessed through the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale.Adherence was defined as consumption of at least 75%of each dose,while tolerability was evaluated through a semiquantitative scale.Safety was systematically monitored through adverse events reporting.RESULTS Overall,1289 met the inclusion criteria and were enrolled in the study.Of these,490 patients performed a 4 L-PEG preparation(Selgesse^■),566 a 2 L-PEG cleansing(Moviprep^■or Clensia^■)and 233 a 1 L-PEG preparation(Plenvu^■).Bowel cleansing by Boston Bowel Preparation Scale was 6.5±1.5 overall and 6.3±1.5,6.2±1.5,7.3±1.5(P<0.001)in the subgroups of 4 L,2 L and 1 L-PEG preparation,respectively.Cleansing success was achieved in 72.4%,74.1%and 90.1%(P<0.001),while a high-quality cleansing of the right colon in 15.9%,12.0%and 41.4%(P<0.001)for 4 L,2 L and 1 L-PEG preparation groups,respectively.The 1 L preparation was the most tolerated compared to the 2 and 4 L-PEG solutions in the absence of serious adverse events within any of the three groups.Multiple regression models confirmed 1 L PEG-ASC preparation as an independent predictor of overall cleansing success,high-quality cleansing of the right colon and of tolerability.CONCLUSION This study supports the effectiveness and tolerability of 1 L PEG-ASC,also showing it is an independent predictor of overall cleansing success,high-quality cleansing of the right colon and of tolerability. | Marcello Maida Emanuele Sinagra Gaetano Cristian Morreale Sandro Sferrazza Giuseppe Scalisi Dario Schillaci Marco Ventimiglia Fabio Salvatore Macaluso Giovanni Vettori Giuseppe Conoscenti Concetta Di Bartolo Serena Garufi Domenico Catarella Michele Manganaro Clara Maria Virgilio Salvatore Camilleri | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,16: | 2 |
| 2 | Use of artificial intelligence in improving adenoma detection rate during colonoscopy:Might both endoscopists and pathologists be further helped显示文摘Colonoscopy remains the standard strategy for screening for colorectal cancer around the world due to its efficacy in both detecting adenomatous or precancerous lesions and the capacity to remove them intra-procedurally.Computeraided detection and diagnosis(CAD),thanks to the brand new developed innovations of artificial intelligence,and especially deep-learning techniques,leads to a promising solution to human biases in performance by guarantying decision support during colonoscopy.The application of CAD on real-time colonoscopy helps increasing the adenoma detection rate,and therefore contributes to reduce the incidence of interval cancers improving the effectiveness of colonoscopy screening on critical outcome such as colorectal cancer related mortality.Furthermore,a significant reduction in costs is also expected.In addition,the assistance of the machine will lead to a reduction of the examination time and therefore an optimization of the endoscopic schedule.The aim of this opinion review is to analyze the clinical applications of CAD and artificial intelligence in colonoscopy,as it is reported in literature,addressing evidence,limitations,and future prospects. | Emanuele Sinagra Matteo Badalamenti Marcello Maida Marco Spadaccini Roberta Maselli Francesca Rossi Giuseppe Conoscenti Dario Raimondo Socrate Pallio Alessandro Repici Andrea Anderloni | 2020 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2020,26,39: | 0 |
