Assessment of the effect of an Interactive Dynamic Referral Interface (IDRI) on the quality of referral letters from general practitioners to gastroenterologists: a randomised cross-over vignette trial
We evaluated whether interactive, electronic, dynamic, diagnose-specific checklists improve the quality of referral letters in gastroenterology. We al...
Accuracy of capsule colonoscopy in detecting colorectal polyps in a screening population
Capsule colonoscopy is a minimally invasive imaging method. Sessile serrated polyps and hyperplastic polyps accounted for 26% and 37% of false-negativ...
Impact of preprocedure simethicone on adenoma detection rate during colonoscopy: a multicenter, endoscopist-blinded randomized controlled trial
The study aimed to investigate whether preprocedureSimethicone could increase the adenoma detection rate. More adenomas were detected in the PEG plus...
Vaccinating the inflammatory bowel disease patient: deficiencies in gastroenterologists knowledge
Study was to assess gastroenterologist's knowledge regarding vaccinating the IBD patient. Majority of gastroenterologists believe that the PCP should...
Increased detection of Barrett's esophagus-associated neoplasia using wide-area trans-epithelial sampling: a multicenter, prospective, randomized trial
Wide-area transepithelial sampling (WATS) with computer-assisted 3-dimensional analysis is a sampling technique that combines abrasive brushing of the...
Effects of Training and Feedback on Accuracy of Predicting Rectosigmoid Neoplastic Lesions and Selection of Surveillance Intervals by Endoscopists Performing Optical Diagnosis of Diminutive Polyps
Real-time differentiation of polyps (1-5 mm) during endoscopy could replace histopathology analysis. According to guidelines, implementation of optica...
An endoscopic quality improvement program improves detection of colorectal adenomas
Adenoma detection rate (ADR) is a key measure of quality in colonoscopy. Low ADRs are associated with the development of interval cancer after "negati...
Randomized controlled trial of self-directed versus in-classroom teaching of narrow-band imaging for diagnosis of Barrett's esophagus-associated neoplasia
The study was to compare the accuracy of diagnosing Barrett's esophagus (BE)-associated neoplasia by trainees with no prior NBI experience. There was...
