Each 1% increase in adenoma detection rates (ADR) decreases patients’ risk of colorectal cancer by 3%. A recently released randomized trial found computer-aided polyp detection (CADe) increases ADR versus high-definition (HD) colonoscopy alone. The trial, using colonoscopies performed by expert endoscopists in three Italian centers, found that CADe and HD together delivered:
14% absolute increase in ADR 30% relative increase in ADR 46% relative increase APC 50% greater likelihood to detect multiple polyps 53% more likely to detect polyps in the distal colon 28% more likely to detect polyps in the proximal colon And found no differences in withdrawal times, caecal intubations, and false positive rates
