AIM: To determine what variables affect procedure time for colonoscopy. METHODS: 95 colonoscopies from the first weeks of July and December 1994, March and June 1995 were retrospectively reviewed. Statistical analysis of age, sex, prior abdominal surgeries, indication for colonoscopy, final diagnosis,...
We found no significant difference in bowel TL between the following patients: (i) with polyps at the recruitment colonoscopy or previously (P=0.590), (ii) with and without a history of CRC (P=0.284), (iii) with polyps or CRC (P=0.211), and (iv) with present or previous CRC (P=...
The CAPS system is designed to provide trained healthcare professionals access to propofol for patients undergoing routine colonoscopy, and upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD) procedures with the belief that this would encourage additional screenings, detect issues early and potentially save lives. The...
OBJECTIVE: We set out to compare the success of colonoscopy using long and intermediate length standard adult instruments. METHODS: An intermediate length (133 cm working length) and long (168 cm) videocolonoscope were used on an alternate patient basis during routine endoscopy lists. Completion ...

IED was defined as the number of days elapsed between anticipated versus actual procedure day. Data were extracted from the endoscopy documentation software and via electronic chart review. Multivariate logistic regressions were modeled to determine variables associated with IED and hospital readmission.#A...
