Objective:

To investigate whether the combination of CADe with TXI can enhance adenoma detection rates (ADR) in colonoscopy beyond the benefits of TXI alone.

Approach:
  • Procedure: Colonoscopy was performed using WLI, followed by activation of TXI and CADe during withdrawal, with documentation of polyp detection and classification.
Key Findings:
  • No significant increase in adenoma detection rates when combining CADe with TXI compared to TXI alone.
  • The study did not find additional gains in adenoma detection rates.
Interpretation:

The combination of CADe and TXI does not provide a substantial benefit in adenoma detection rates, suggesting that further enhancements may be limited as detection rates improve.

Limitations:
  • The study relied on historical controls, which may introduce bias.
  • The sample size may not have been sufficient to detect small differences.
Conclusion:

The addition of CADe to TXI does not enhance adenoma detection rates in colonoscopy.
