Great poster! Wonder a little bit about age of your patients: were there any differences in patients who underwent the intervention versus not or even in the number of patients who were an AIBP? is there any type of cost difference in the two systems? Also you mentioned there is provider variability: does this system require more specialized technique that may be a barrier to implementing this more widely? Would be wonderful if we can truly rescue more colonoscopies!!
Reid, very interesting study- And of great practical importance! The Pure-Vu options seems promising! The study raises important points about the need for a more standardized approach to cancellation. Well-done! Dave
