The Effect of Routine Video-recording on Colonoscopy Quality Indicators.
The Effect of Routine Video-recording on Colonoscopy Quality Indicators.
Routine video recording of the colonoscopy examination has been proposed as a simple and easy
 to implement method that could improve the quality of colonoscopy. The purpose of this study
 is to investigate whether implementation of routine video recording of screening colonoscopy
 withdrawal is effective as a means of supporting quality performance of colonoscopy. The
 study will be performed in 8 screening centers within the framework of a national colonoscopy
 screening program in Poland (the Polish Colonoscopy Screening Platform; PCSP). Individuals
 aged 55-64 years are eligible to participate in the PCSP. In the run-in period colonoscopy
 quality measures will be monitored through a dedicated joint database. Then eligible
 screening centres will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to the video recording group or
 the control group. Screening centres assigned to the video recording group will receive
 videorecorders and DVDs and will be asked to video record all screening colonoscopies (only
 withdrawal). Control group will be allowed to record colonoscopies on demand only. Then , the
 colonoscopy quality measures will again be monitored through a dedicated joint database. All
 the recorded DVDs will be reviewed to verify ceacal intubation and withdrawal time by the
 PCSP team.
Inclusion Criteria:

 -  Screening centres participating in the Polish Colonoscopy Screening Platform (PCSP)
 between 2012 and 2013, in which no routine video recording of screening colonoscopies
 is performed

 -  Screening centres which will sign informed consent
