Unfortunately, iodine staining can be associated with numerous adverse events (AEs). We found that the starting position of spraying iodine solution is likely the main reason of causing AEs. We conducted this work to determine whether clinical outcomes from anterograde iodine staining were superior to those achieved after retrograde iodine staining.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> A total of 134 subjects with a health risk appraisal flushing (HRA-F) score of &amp;gt;6 for esophageal cancer were randomly assigned to receive anterograde or retrograde iodine staining in the esophagus. The primary endpoints were the pain and the amount of iodine solution consumption. The secondary endpoints were iodine-staining effect, detection yield, and response to starch indicator.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Nine patients suffered from pain and six patients revealed positive response to starch indicator in retrograde iodine-staining group; however, no patient reported pain (0\/67) and all patients revealed a negative response to starch indicator in anterograde iodine-staining group. The amount of iodine solution consumption in anterograde iodine-staining group (4.97 mL) was significantly lower than that (6.23 mL) in retrograde iodine-staining group; however, the iodine-staining effect and detection yield were comparable between the two groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions:<\/jats:bold> Anterograde iodine staining during Lugol chromoendoscopy appears to be as effective, but significantly safer than retrograde iodine staining.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3389\/fmed.2021.764111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,11,30]],"date-time":"2021-11-30T23:49:47Z","timestamp":1638316187000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Comparative
