- Conditions
- Patients Undergoing Screening or Surveillance Colonoscopy
- Interventions
- Registration Number
- NCT02124447
- Lead Sponsor
- Medical College of Wisconsin
- Brief Summary
- This will be a 4-way comparison to prospectively evaluate the efficacy and patient tolerability of four commercially available bowel preparations among patients undergoing colonoscopy for screening and surveillance in a single tertiary academic medical center. 
- Detailed Description
- We will randomize 300 consecutive patients undergoing colonoscopy for screening or surveillance purposes to receive one of four bowel purgatives. These purgatives include 
 1. Split dose 4 liter polyethylene glycol with electrolytes (PEG+E): Brand name GoLytely
 2. Split dose 2 liter polyethylene glycol with ascorbic acid (PEG+Asc): Brand name: MoviPrep
 3. Split dose sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide, and anhydrous citric acid (P+MC): Brand name Prepopik
 4. Split dose sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, and potassium sulfate solution (sulfate): Brand name Suprep

- Primary Outcome Measures
- Name - Time - Method - Efficacy of bowel cleansing according to the Boston Bowel Preparation Score (BPPS) - Patient outcome will be assessed at the time of the colonoscopy by the performing physician and ducomentation of this outcome will occur within 24 hours of the procedure 
- Secondary Outcome Measures
- Name - Time - Method - Patient tolerability and satisfaction - Outcome of satisfaction will be assessed on a single survey that the patient will provide the day of their colonoscopy and will be recorded by study personnel up to 30 days thereafter - Will be assessed using a previously studied satisfaction questionnaire (7 items)
