About

About 30% of patients were reported to suffer inadequate bowel preparation. So, it is desirable to prescribe personalized regimen according to patient's personal characteristics.

Full description

Colonoscopy is currently the main approach for detecting mucosal abnormalities in the whole colon. Inadequate bowel preparation is the predominant threaten to the efficacy of colonoscopy.Unfortunately, about 30% of patients were reported to suffer inadequate bowel preparation. In order to improve adequate bowel preparation rate, it is desirable to prescribe personalized regimen according to patient characteristics. We intend to create and verify a predictive model for inadequate bowel preparation. Then, in order to improve adequate bowel preparation rate, we aim to establish a bowel preparation strategy guided by the predicted model and verify it.

---

429 participants in 2 patient groups

Group A: standard group

Active Comparator group

Description:

Participants are given standard regimen: 2 L Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) regimen.

Treatment:

Drug: Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)

Drug: Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)

Group B: tailored group

Experimental group

Description:

Participants are given personalized regimens for bowel preparation according to the the predictive model( a model which grades patients as low or high risk according to risk factors such as age, body mass index≧ 30 kg/m2, diabetes, constipation, pelvic surgery and tricyclic antidepressants usage). Low risk patients are given standard regimen: 2 L Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) regimen; High risk patients are given standard regimen: 4 L Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) regimen.

Treatment:

Drug: Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)
