Colonoscopy is considered the gold standard of colorectal cancer screening, as well as a staple procedure in the GI field. Here are five recent studies that examine colonoscopy quality, cost-effectiveness and more.
"Long-term colorectal cancer mortality after adenoma removal" – The New England Journal of Medicine
This study examines current surveillance colonoscopy practices and questions whether or not these guidelines are due for an update.
"Is Miralax + Gatorade a good choice for bowel prep before colonoscopy?" – The American Journal of Gastroenterology
This study compares polyethylene glycol to Miralax and Gatorade as colonoscopy bowel preparation regimens.
"Influence of previous night call and sleep deprivation on screening colonoscopy quality" – The American Journal of Gastroenterology
This study examines how physician sleep deprivation affected the quality of screening colonoscopy.
"Can colonoscopy remain cost-effective for colorectal cancer screening? The impact of practice patterns and the Will Rogers phenomenon on costs" — The American Journal of Gastroenterology
In this study researchers set out to determine the impact of high adenoma detection rate on future colorectal cancer risk and surveillance colonoscopy burden.
"Informed choice vs. no choice in colorectal cancer screening tests: A prospective cohort study in real-life screening practice" – The American Journal of Gastroenterology
This study compares colorectal cancer screening adherence in a group patients offered a choice in screening modality, including colonoscopy, to a group offered no choice.
