Abstract

Background: Computer-aided detection (CADe) systems may increase adenoma detection rate (ADR) during colonoscopy. However, the variable results of CADe effects in different RCTs warrant investigation into factors influencing these results.

Aims: Investigate the different variables possibly affecting the impact of CADe-assisted colonoscopy and its effect on ADR.

Methods: We searched MEDLINE, EMBASE, and Scopus databases until July 2023 for RCTs reporting performance of CADe systems in the detection of colorectal neoplasia. The main outcome was pooled ADR. A random-effects meta-analysis was performed to obtain the pooled risk ratios (RR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI)). To explore sources of heterogeneity, we conducted a meta-regression analysis using both univariable and multivariable mixed-effects models. Potential explanatory variables included factors influencing adenoma prevalence, such as patient gender, age, and colonoscopy indication. We also included both key (ADR), and minor (Withdrawal time) performance measures considered as quality indicators for colonoscopy.

Results: Twenty-three randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on 19,077 patients were include. ADR was higher in the CADe group (46 % [95 % CI 39-52]) than in the standard colonoscopy group (38 % [95 % CI 31-46]) with a risk ratio of 1.22 [95 % CI 1.14-1.29]); and a substantial level of heterogeneity (I² = 67.69 %). In the univariable meta-regression analysis, patient age, ADR in control arms, and withdrawal time were the strongest predictors of CADe effect on ADR (P < .001). In multivariable meta-regression, ADR in control arms, and withdrawal time were simultaneous significant predictors of the proportion of the CADe effect on ADR.

Conclusion: The substantial level of heterogeneity found appeared to be associated with variability in colonoscopy quality performances across the studies, namely ADR in control arm, and withdrawal time.
