Predictors of Suboptimal Bowel Preparation Using 3-l of Polyethylene Glycol for an Outpatient Colonoscopy: A Prospective Observational Study

Background A 3-l polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution provided better bowel cleansing quality than a 2-l solution for outpatient colonoscopy. Predictors of suboptimal preparation using a 3-l PEG have not been previously reported. Aims To investigate the possible predictors of suboptimal bowel preparat...

Description
Summary:Background A 3-l polyethylene glycol (PEG) solution provided better bowel cleansing quality than a 2-l solution for outpatient colonoscopy. Predictors of suboptimal preparation using a 3-l PEG have not been previously reported. Aims To investigate the possible predictors of suboptimal bowel preparation using 3-l of PEG. Methods We analyzed a database of 1404 consecutive colonoscopies during a 27-month period at a community hospital. A split-dose PEG regimen was provided for morning colonoscopies, and a same-day PEG regimen was provided for afternoon colonoscopies. The level of bowel cleansing was prospectively scored according to the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS). Possible predictors of suboptimal colon preparation, defined as a BBPS score
