Personalized Colonoscopy Preparation for Patients With Risk Factors for Inadequate Preparation

Not Applicable
Conditions
Inadequate Preparation for Colonoscopy; Personalized Colonoscopy Preparation
Interventions
Drug: Sodium Picosulfate / Magnesium Oxide / Citric Acid in two split doses + one dose of polyethylene glycol + two Bisacodyl tablets day before the procedure
Registration Number
NCT04033250
Lead Sponsor
Rambam Health Care Campus
Brief Summary

Adequate bowel preparation is one of the most important quality measures in colonoscopy. Previous studies identified several factors associated with inadequate bowel preparation (IBP). No study has attempted to assign a different regimen to patients based on the presence of risk factors for inadequate bowel preparation.

The aim of the study is to check if a personalized bowel preparation regimen based on risk factors for IBP, will lead to an overall improvement in bowel preparation during colonoscopy.

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Improved bowel preparationIndex colonoscopy

Boston Bowel Preparation Scale at index colonoscopy will be measured. The grading is between 1 and 3 for each segment of colon (ascending, transverse, descending) where 1 is poor and 3 is excellent (subscale). The final score is between 3 and 9 summing up the scores for each segment.
