The Impact of Active Nurse Participation on Adenoma Detection During Routine Colonoscopy

For Patients For Researchers

Condition: Adenoma

What is the purpose of this trial?

Hypothesis-- Nurse observation in addition to the colonoscopist while withdrawing the colonoscope from the cecum leads to a greater adenoma detection rate.

Methods- Patients presenting for screening colonoscopy are randomized to nurse observation or usual practice. Risk factors for adenoma development and the adenoma detection rate in each group will be evaluated.

Who can participate?

Ages Eligible: 30 Years and older
Gender Eligible: Both

Inclusion Criteria:

- performance of screening colonoscopy
