Brief Summary

Colonoscopy withdrawal times are a critical element in determining quality of colonoscopy; however, few studies have evaluated specific factors that may influence the duration of withdrawal, and specifically short withdrawal times. Other factors affecting polyp detection rate, one element of quality of colonoscopy, also need further study. By collecting data on hundreds of colonoscopies performed by 9 endoscopists, our goal was to identify factors associated with withdrawal time, inappropriately short withdrawal times, and polyp detection rate during colonoscopy.

Study Arms (1)

Patients undergoing colonoscopy

Data was collected on all adult patients undergoing outpatient colonoscopy at St. Paul's Hospital from May 2008 to June 2009. Exclusion criteria were prior colon resection and repeat colonoscopy for the purpose of endoscopic therapy for known lesions.

Other: No intervention

Interventions

No intervention OTHER

Colonoscopies were conducted as per the endoscopist's usual practice. No change in protocol was expected.
