Multicenter Study Observational StudyRelationship between the endoscopic withdrawal time and adenoma/polyp detection rate in individual colonic segments: a KASID multicenter study.
Appropriate colonoscopy withdrawal times for individual colonic segments are not well known. The relationship between withdrawal time and adenoma detection rate (ADR)/polyp detection rate (PDR) in individual colonic segments was examined in this study. ⋯ The PDR and ADR appeared to be significantly increased when the withdrawal time was ≥2 minutes in the right-sided colon segment, ≥4 minutes in the proximal colon, and ≥3 minutes in the left-sided colon segment compared with shorter withdrawal times.

Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter StudyImproving the quality and acceptance of colonoscopy preparation by reinforced patient education with short message service: results from a randomized, multicenter study (PERICLES-II).
Sufficient bowel preparation is crucial for successful screening and surveillance colonoscopy. However, the rates of inadequate preparation are still high. We investigated the effects of reinforcing patient education and guidance by using the short message service (SMS). ⋯ Reinforced patient education by using SMS messages during the 4 days before colonoscopy increased bowel cleanliness, adenoma detection in the right segment of the colon, and reduced discomfort. (Clinical trial registration number: NCT02272036.).
