Quality Assessment of Colonoscopic Cecal Intubation: An Analysis of 6 Years of Continuous Practice at a University Hospital

Abstract

Our analysis revealed cecal intubation and documentation rates that meet current guidelines, and identified factors that may cause substantial variance in these rates depending on the nature of the practice. The present analysis confirms that computerized databases can be used to assess individual and group cecal intubation and documentation rates on an annual basis, and to make these data available to the public.
