Clinical Trial Summary

Linked color imaging(LCI),a new system for endoscopy modality,creates clear and bright endoscopic images by using short-wavelength narrow-band laser light combined with white laser light on the basis of magnifying blue laser imaging(BLI) technology.LCI makes red areas appear redder and white areas appear whiter.Thus,it is easier to recognize a slight difference in color of the mucosa.This is a study to assess the effectiveness of LCI for diagnosing esophageal minimal endoscopic lesions and Los Angeles classification system when compared to conventional white-light endoscopy (WLI).Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) is a common disease that be defined as a condition which develops when the reflux of stomach contents cause troublesome symptoms and/or complications.Esophageal injury was classified according to the Los Angeles classification system,Non-erosive reflux disease(NERD) is defined by the presence of troublesome reflux-associated symptoms and the absence of mucosal breaks at endoscopy,which includes minimal change oesophagitis and no endoscopic abnormalities.LCI improved the visualization of the squamocolumnar junction (SCJ) by enhancing the contrast,mucosa minimal changes could be seen more easily and clearly with LCI than with standard white-light endoscopy.By comparing White-light endoscopy and LCI,it will show if there is any comparable advantage to using one or the other for lesion detection.


Description:

This is a prospective study comparing the use of linked color imaging(LCI) versus standard white light for the detection of minimal change esophageal.Gastroesophageal reflux disease(GERD) is a common disease that be defined as a condition which develops when the reflux of stomach contents cause troublesome symptoms and/or complications.At present,more than half the patients with GERD symptoms were diagnosed as having nonerosive reflux disease(NERD).However,by careful analysis,the majority of NERD patients did not have completely normal endoscopic finding but were found to have subtle distal esophageal mucosal changes.Forty-eight patients with suspected minimal change esophageal reflux disease(positive GerdQ but normal conventional endoscopy)and forty asymptomatic control were recruited.The new LCI(GF-L590WR) was performed.The criteria for positive liquid crystal thermography (LCT) were:a)triangular indentation,b)punctuate erythema.

Outcome

Type Measure Description Time frame Safety issue
Primary observation minimal change esophagitis conducted to assess the effectiveness of LCI for diagnosing esophageal MCE when compared to conventional white-light endoscopy (WLI).Meanwhile, interobserver and intraobserver variation in the use of LCI system between endoscopists with different levels of experience. 5 months
Secondary Improvement observation agreement of Los Angeles classification system for GERD using LCI by comparing with that under white endoscopy It is anticipated that the use of Linked Color Imaging(LCI) will significantly improve the observation agreement of Los Angeles Classification when detected as opposed to White-light endoscopy 5 months
