1. A total of 1,072 patients were included in the study. They were randomized into a dynamic position change group and a control group.
2. In the position change group, the position changes during colonoscope withdrawal were as follows: cecum, ascending colon, and hepatic flexure: left lateral position; transverse colon: supine position; splenic flexure, descending colon, sigmoid colon, and rectum: right lateral position.
3. The adenoma detection rate was higher in the position change group than in the control group — 42.4 percent and 33 percent, respectively.
