Unsuspected efficacy of starch-based polysaccharide vs crystalloid-oil emulsion for lifting in colonic endoscopic resections

Table 3 Comparison of average duration of procedure between starch-based polysaccharide solution and crystalloid-oil emulsion solution groups, n (%)

Outcome	Starch-based polysaccharide solution group	Crystalloid-oil emulsion solution group	t-test/χ2 statistic	P value
Average duration of procedure (minute)	96 ± 45.18	117 ± 57.57	2.76 (t-test)	< 0.01
Intraprocedural bleeding requiring intervention	10/99 (10.1)	35/79 (44.3)	27.21	< 0.01
En bloc resection	32/99 (32.3)	8/79 (10.1)	12.43	< 0.01
30-day adverse events	2/99 (2.0)	9/79 (11.4)	6.66	0.01

P values were derived from t-test and χ² test comparing the occurrence of each outcome between the two study groups.
