Details and patient eligibility

About

background:The use of enhanced instruction can improve the efficiency of education for bowel preparation regimens. Researchers hypothesized that face-to-face instruction and personalized intervention for inpatient could improve successful bowel preparation rate and patient's compliance with regimens.

Methods:This was an endoscopist-blind,randomized controlled trial. 320inpatients were randomized 1:1 in one of the two study groups. The intervention group received face-to-face instruction and personalized intervention for bowel preparation protocol, while control group received the standard bowel preparation protocol. Patients'demographics, bowel preparation quality, colonoscopy completion and attendance were recorded. Logistic regression was performed to identify predictors of bowel preparation failure.

320 participants in 2 patient groups

PEG-FFI prep
Experimental group
Description:
On the day before colonoscopy, an experienced researcher would go to the ward to have a face-to-face conversation with the patient to know if patients have the risk factors for bowel preparation failure. The bowel preparation regimens for patients with risk factors would be optimized. In addition to drink single dose of 120g Polyethylene Glycol (PEG-4000) with 3L water 4-6 h before colonoscopy at a rate of 250 ml every 15 min, the patient also drink single dose of 60g Polyethylene Glycol (PEG-4000) with 1L water at 20:00- 21:00 hours on the day before the colonoscopy. Patients without risk factors drink single dose of 120g Polyethylene Glycol (PEG-4000) with 3L water 4-6 h before colonoscopy at a rate of 250 ml every 15 min. Patients would received a booklet to explain the details of diet restriction, preparation method and the pictures of bowel preparation of results.The researcher would give a detailed oral explanation of the booklet.
Treatment:
Drug: PEG-FFI
PEG-nonFFI prep
Active Comparator group
Description:
Patients in the PEG-nonFFI group would only receive routine patient education on bowel preparation of colonoscopy, which was completed by ward nurse. all the patients drink single dose of 120g Polyethylene Glycol (PEG-4000) with 3L water 4-6 h before colonoscopy at a rate of 250 ml every 15 min.
Treatment:
Drug: PEG-nonFFI
