Effective Withdrawal Time and Adenoma Detection Rate

This study prospectively evaluated the role of EWT versus SWT on adenoma detection rate (ADR) and other key quality metrics. In this prospective single-center study, patients undergoing colonoscopy were enrolled. EWT was calculated in real-time using an AI system with endoscopists blinded to the results. We performed multivariable analyses to assess the association of EWT and SWT with binary (e.g., ADR) and count outcomes (e.g., adenoma per colonoscopy \[APC\]), after adjusting for patient and procedural characteristics.
