Background and study aims? Using personal protective equipment (PPE) can reduce
risk of disease transmission. During the COVID-19 pandemic, enhanced PPE (EPPE)
is recommended when performing endoscopy. We aimed to evaluate the impact of EPPE
on colonoscopy performance when compared to standard PPE (SPPE). Patients and
methods? A review of electronic medical records and endoscopy reports of
consecutive patients who underwent colonoscopy during two similar one-month time
periods (in 2019 and during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020) was performed. SPPE
was used in 2019 and EPPE was used in 2020. Patient clinical data and
procedure-related information were captured and analyzed. The primary outcomes
were time to cecum (TTC) and total procedure time. Secondary outcomes were
adenoma detection rate (ADR), polyp detection rate (PDR) and cecal intubation
rate (CIR). Statistical analysis was performed using STATA v16.1. Results? Two
hundred and forty-seven colonoscopy procedures were analyzed. Baseline
demographics and indications for colonoscopy of patients in both groups were
similar. There were no significant differences in median TTC (10.0 vs 10.0?min, P
?=?0.524) or total procedure time (22.5 vs 23.0?min, P ?=?0.946) between
colonoscopy performed in SPPE and EPPE. The ADR, PDR and CIR were also similar.
Conclusion? Our findings suggest that use of EPPE does not affect colonoscopy
performance.
