Colonoscopy surveillance recommendations: does an algorithm improve timing decisions
Official title: Evaluating the Effectiveness of a Colonoscopy Surveillance Recommendations Algorithm in Clinical Practice
Run by NYU Langone Health · NCT07658716 · Data updated 2026-11-12
This study tests whether an algorithm for colonoscopy surveillance recommendations helps doctors choose when to perform follow-up procedures more accurately in patients under our care.

Is this trial a fit for you?
✓Likely a good fit
Gastroenterologists and primary care physicians (including residents and fellows) practicing at NYU Langone Health or Bellevue who can provide informed consent.
✕Probably not a fit
Physicians not practicing in gastroenterology or primary care or those unwilling to use the algorithm may not receive any benefit.

What this trial studies
This observational study from NYU Langone Health aims to compare an algorithm-guided approach to traditional methods for determining colonoscopy surveillance intervals. It will assess how accurately the algorithm guides timing, as well as the time needed to generate recommendations and the potential time-related cost savings. The study includes gastroenterologists and primary care physicians at NYU Langone Health and Bellevue who consent to participate. No interventions beyond algorithm-assisted decision-making are specified. The lead sponsor is NYU Langone Health, with locations in New York, NY.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, the algorithm could help clinicians set more precise colonoscopy intervals and save time per recommendation.
How similar studies have gone: Previous work on decision-support tools for surveillance planning has shown mixed results; this study explores a specific algorithm in routine practice and results may vary.
