EFFICACY OF A COMPUTER AIDED DETECTION (CADE) SYSTEM IN A FIT-BASED ORGANIZED COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING PROGRAM: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED TRIAL
Authors
Aims Computer Aided Detection (CADe) increases adenoma detection in primary screening colonoscopy. The potential benefit of CADe in FIT-based screening programs, where the prevalence of neoplasia is high, has never been evaluated.
Methods In a multicentre, randomized trial, 50-74 years old subjects undergoing screening colonoscopy, following a positive FIT, were randomized (1:1) to receive high-definition white light (HD-WL) colonoscopy with (study arm) or without (control arm) a real-time deep-learning CADe (CADEYETM Fujifilm Co., Tokyo, Japan). Main outcome measures were ADR (primary outcome), number of adenomas per colonoscopy (APC) and detection rate of advanced adenomas (Advanced-ADR). Subgroup analysis on ADR according to baseline endoscopists ’ADR (group 1:<40%, group 2: 41-45%, group 3>46%) was also performed.
Results Eight hundred subjects (61.2±7.3 years old; 409 men) were included. Of them, 405 underwent CADe-assisted and 395 HD-WL colonoscopy, respectively. ADR and APC were significantly higher in the study arm than in the control one: ADR: 53.6% vs. 45.3% (RR: 1.180, 95%CI: 1.026-1.361; p=0.019); APC: 1.126+1.540 vs. 0.904+1.320 (p=0.028). No significant difference in advanced-ADR (18.5% vs. 15.9%; p=0.386) was found. An absolute increase in ADR was observed in all endoscopists' groups regardless of baseline ADR.
Conclusions Incorporating the use of a CADe system significantly increases ADR and APC in the framework of a FIT-based CRC screening program. The impact of artificial intelligence appears to be consistent regardless of the endoscopist baseline ADR.
