Abstract
29
STUDY OBJECTIVE: The primary objective of the study was to evaluate the ability of narrow
30
band imaging (NBI) in conjunction with standard white light imaging to improve the detection
31
and diagnosis of endometriosis during laparoscopic evaluation compared to white light imaging
32
alone. Sensitivity of NBI in detecting endometriosis was assessed and compared to white light
33
imaging.
34
DESIGN: A randomized controlled trial.
35
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDY DESIGN: LEVEL I: Evidence obtained from a properly
36
designed, randomized, controlled trial
37
SETTING: The trial was conducted in two medical centers.
38
PATIENTS:
39
endometriosis and/or infertility were recruited. Of these, 150 were evaluable for the primary aim
40
to determine sensitivity of NBI compared to white light imaging for the detection of
41
endometriotic lesions.
42
INTERVENTIONS: Patients were randomized in a 3:1 ratio to receive white light imaging
43
followed by NBI or white light imaging only. The pelvis was systematically visualized with
44
each assigned imaging modality; lesions were recorded under each visualization and then
45
resected. All patients had white light imaging on the first visualization followed by either a
46
second white light examination (control arm) or NBI examination (intervention arm.)
47
MEASUREMENT: Pathology of resected lesions was the gold standard for evaluating
48
sensitivity and was conducted at each institution. The method of detection of the lesion (white
49
light or NBI) was masked. Central pathology review was conducted for a randomly selected
50
10% sample of specimens and for those lesions visualized under only one imaging modality

(white light and NBI) and compared using a McNemar’s test.
53
MAIN RESULTS: Among the group randomized to receive both white light and NBI, four
54
patients had lesions detected with NBI but no lesions detected with white light. Among the 255
55
lesions confirmed as endometriosis by pathologic review, all were detected by NBI for a
