  1. Eight and seven patients in the WE group and CO2 group had adenoma found only during the second-pass examination; and the ADR for the combined examinations would be 62.8% (95% CI, 51.7–73.0%) for WE, and 66.3% (95% CI, 55.3–76.1%) for CO2, respectively (P = 0.75)
  2. Abbreviation: WE Water exchange, ADR adenoma detection rate, CI confidence interval, MAP mean adenoma per procedure, SD standard deviation, HP hyperplastic polyp, PHP-DR proximal hyperplastic polyp detection rate
