Article Synopsis
  • The study used the UK's National Endoscopy Database to evaluate if feedback on polyp detection rates could improve endoscopists' performance during colonoscopies.
  • It involved a randomized trial with 541 endoscopists across 36 centers, where those in the intervention group received monthly performance reports based on behavior change theories.
  • Although there was no significant increase in the average number of polyps detected, there were notable improvements in overall polyp detection rates during the intervention, particularly among those who actively engaged with the feedback, but these gains did not carry over after the intervention.

Colonoscopists with low polyp detection have higher post colonoscopy colorectal cancer incidence and mortality rates. The United Kingdom's National Endoscopy Database (NED) automatically captures patient level data in real time and provides endoscopy key performance indicators (KPI) at a national, endoscopy center, and individual level. Using an electronic behavior change intervention, the primary objective of this study is to assess if automated feedback of endoscopist and endoscopy center-level optimal procedure-adjusted detection KPI (opadKPI) improves polyp detection performance.

Objectives: The English Bowel Cancer Screening Programme invites 55 year olds for a sigmoidoscopy (Bowel Scope Screening (BSS)), aiming to resect premalignant polyps, thus reducing cancer incidence. A national patient survey indicated higher procedural pain than anticipated, potentially impacting on screening compliance and effectiveness. We aimed to assess whether water-assisted sigmoidoscopy (WAS), as opposed to standard CO technique, improved procedural pain and detection of adenomatous polyps.

 The English National Bowel Scope Screening Programme (BSSP) invites 55-year-olds for a one-off, unsedated flexible sigmoidoscopy (FSIG). Data from BSSP participant-reported experience studies shows 1 in 3 participants report moderate or severe discomfort. Water-assisted colonoscopy (WAS) may improve participants' comfort.
