NCT07338643

Brief Summary

The investigators conducted a multicenter randomized controlled trial to explore the adjuvant effect of artificial intelligence in the detection of precancerous lesions in the proximal colon.This is a prospective, multicenter, single-blind, parallel randomized controlled trial.During the colonoscopy retraction process, the investigators aimed to compare the detection rates of proximal colon adenomas with and without the assistance of an AI(Artificial Intelligence) diagnostic device.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (2)

  • Adenoma detection rate

    The proportion of patients who have at least one adenoma detected during colonoscopy examination

    Day 1

  • Average adenoma detection rate

    The result is the number of adenomas detected by colonoscopy divided by the total number of colonoscopies performed.

    Day 1

Study Arms (3)

AI group

Procedure: AI group

Series group

Procedure: Serial group

Standard group

Procedure: Standard colonoscopy group

Interventions

AI groupPROCEDURE

Full AI assistance was used throughout the standard colonoscopy procedure.

AI group
Serial groupPROCEDURE

After normal withdrawal of the colonoscope to the splenic flexure during standard colonoscopy, full AI assistance was initiated. The colonoscope was re-entered to the ileocecal region for observation. Any missed lesions were recorded.

Series group

The standard colonoscopy procedure was performed as usual

Standard group
