Table 5. Examination of the combined effects of all possible factors that are thought to be determinative in estimating the total procedure time and the change in the total number of detected polyps – results of multivariate linear regression analysis.

Group 1: One operator sitting (1op-sit), Group 2: One operator standing (1op-sta), Group 3: Two operators standing (2op-sta). The R square value of the model for the total processing time was 8.1%, and the R square value of the number of polyps was 8.3%.
