This is a prospective, multicenter, interventional study assessing CE, in patients already scheduled for colonoscopy at tertiary referral hospitals, as a technique to reduce the number of unnecessary colonoscopies and identify patients to prioritize in endoscopy waiting lists.
Study design Enrolled patients already scheduled for non-urgent colonoscopy according to local practice will be offered to undergo an early CE; in case of negative proof they will perform colonoscopy as already planned (scheduled colonoscopy); in patients with positive findings, requiring endoscopic treatment or intervention, colonoscopy will be performed within 30 days from CE (early colonoscopy). Study population Patients who received the indication for colonoscopy as per clinical practice and subsequently identified as non-urgent procedures, according to locally established prioritization criteria
