The Effect of an Intensive Endoscopic Quality Improvement Program (EQUIP) on Improved Detection and Classification of Non-polypoid (Flat and Depressed) and Polypoid Colorectal Adenomas. ("EQUIP" Study)


Our Endoscopic Quality Improvement Program (EQUIP) was a prospective educational
intervention with our staff endoscopist as our study population. The investigators measured
adenoma detection rates for a baseline period then randomly assigned half of the
endoscopists to undergo EQUIP training. The investigators then examined baseline and
post-training study adenoma detection rates (ADR's) for all endoscopist (trained and
un-trained) to evaluate the impact of training.


Inclusion Criteria:



- Colonoscopies performed at Mayo clinic ambulatory surgical center

Exclusion Criteria:

- Procedures for the indication of acute GI hemorrhage

- Active colitis

- Hereditary polyposis syndrome

- Inflammatory bowel disease

- Incomplete procedures

- Procedures with surgically altered anatomy (i.e. prior colectomy)

- Poor bowel preparation (Boston Bowel preparation score <5) were also excluded.
