Influencing factors on the detection rate of colorectal polyps in colonoscopy using repeated examination / 中华消化内镜杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective@#To study influencing factors on the detection rate of colorectal polyps by repeated examination in colonoscopy.@*Methods@#A total of 900 patients in the digestive endoscopy center of the People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region received colonoscopy, 300 patients were randomly selected for a second examination and they were selected for three times examination from August 2016 to March 2017. Objective factors for colonoscopy were strictly controlled during the examination, such as endoscopists′ experience, endoscopic operating method, cleansing degree of the intestine and withdrawal time. The characteristics of polyps were recorded, including number, location, shape, size and pathological types of polyps. The characteristics of polyps were compared between the same patient, and between the first-examination group, the second-examination group and the third-examination group. Logistic regression was used to analyze the independent influencing factors of missed diagnosis.@*Results@#A relatively high rate of missed diagnosis could occur in multiple polyps, ascending colon polyps, transverse colon polyps, sigmoid polyps, stepless polyps and small polyps (<5 mm) (All P<0.05), and the pathological type was irrelevant to missed diagnosis (P>0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that the number, location, shape and size of colorectal polyps were all independent factors influencing the detection rate(all P<0.05). The detection rate of polyps in the two times colonoscopy group was higher than that of the one time colonoscopy group, but there was no statistical difference between the second observation and the third observation (P>0.05).@*Conclusion@#The number, location, shape and size of colorectal polyps are all independent factors influencing the detection rate. The detection rate of polyps may be improved by using the second colonoscopy.
