Abstract
Objectives: Diagnostic ability of sessile serrated lesions (SSL) and SSL with dysplasia (SSLD) using blue laser/light imaging (BLI) has not been well examined. We analyzed the diagnostic accuracy of BLI for SSL and SSLD using several endoscopic findings compared to those of narrow band imaging (NBI).
Materials and Methods: This was a subgroup analysis of prospective studies. 476 suspiciously serrated lesions of ≥2 mm on the proximal colon showing serrated change with magnified NBI or BLI in our institution between 2014 and 2021 were examined histopathologically. After propensity score matching, we evaluated the diagnostic ability of SSL and SSLD of the NBI and BLI groups regarding various endoscopic findings. For WLI findings, granule, depression, reddish were examined for diagnosing SSLD. For NBI/BLI findings, expanded crypt opening (ECO) or thick and branched vessels (TBV) were examined for diagnosing SSL. Network vessels (NV) and white dendritic change (WDC) defined originally were examined for diagnosing SSLD.
Results: Among matched 176 lesions, the sensitivity of lesions with either ECO or TBV for SSL in the NBI/BLI group were 97.5%/98.5% (p=0.668). Those with either WDC or NV for diagnosing SSLD in the groups were 81.0%/88.9% (p=0.667). Regarding the rates of endoscopic findings among 30 SSLD and 290 SSL, there were significant differences in WDC (66.4% vs. 8.6%, p<0.001), NV (55.3% vs. 1.4%, p<0.001), and either WDC or NV (86.8% vs. 9.0%, p<0.001).
Conclusions: The diagnostic ability of BLI for SSL and SSLD was not different from NBI. NV and WDC were useful for diagnosing SSLD.
