ARTICLE HIGHLIGHTS
Research background
Music has been used to improve task performance and relieving the surgeon’s tension in operating rooms. There are no studies related to the effects of music on the performance of endoscopists.
Research motivation
The role of music in medicine has been growing. Listening to music during colonoscopy affect performance of endoscopists.
Research objectives
The study aimed to assess the effects of music on colonoscopy performance outcomes.
Research methods
We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent colonoscopy performed by endoscopists with popular music. Colonoscopy performance outcomes, such as cecal insertion time, adenoma detection rate (ADR), were compared between the music and non-music groups. The study was performed by propensity score matching to reduce selection bias.
Research results
After one-to-one propensity score matching, 169 colonoscopies were selected for each group. The cecal insertion time and ADR did not significantly differ between both groups. In trainees, ADR (25.9% vs 47.6%, P = 0.006) were significantly lower in the music than in the non-music group.
Research conclusions
The current study found that listening to music during colonoscopy did not affect procedure performance. Moreover, it suggested that music may distract trainees from appropriately detecting adenomas.
Research perspectives
A randomized study on the effect of music on colonoscopy is needed in the future.
