High-def chromoendoscopy better for detecting dysplasias in patients with IBD
Key clinical point: High-definition chromoendoscopy was superior to high-definition white-light endoscopy for detecting dysplastic lesions in patients with inflammatory bowel disease.
Major finding: In the intention-to-diagnose analysis, detection rates were 11% for high-definition chromoendoscopy and 5% for high-definition white-light endoscopy (P = .032).
Study details: Randomized single-center prospective study of 305 patients with ulcerative colitis or Crohn’s disease.
Disclosures: The Stockholm City Council provided funding. The researchers reported having no conflicts of interest.
