The impact of hyoscine <italic>N</italic>‐butylbromide (HBB) on polyp detection rate (PDR) and adenoma detection rate (ADR) is unclear.</p> </sec> <sec id="den12340-sec-0002" sec-type="section"> <title>Methods</title> <p>We conducted a reproducible literature search of multiple databases. Two reviewers independently compared manuscripts for PDR, ADR, advanced adenoma detection rate (AADR), and rates of complications. Pooling was conducted by fixed‐effects and random‐effects models.

The pooled analysis showed a trend toward improving PDR and ADR among the HBB group compared with the placebo group but failed to reach statistical significance, (46% <italic>vs</italic> 43%, RR = 1.08 [0.94, 1.25], <italic>P</italic> = 0.27), (31% <italic>vs</italic> 28%, RR = 1.12 [0.97, 1.29], <italic>P</italic> = 0.11) respectively.</p> </sec> <sec id="den12340-sec-0004" sec-type="section"> <title>Conclusion</title> <p>HBB during colonoscopy may provide marginal improvements in ADR and PDR. However, heterogeneity in the available data precludes firm conclusions at this time.</p> </sec> </abstract>
