A Randomized Endoscopist-blinded Clinical Trial Comparing the Bowel Cleansing Effect and Patient Tolerability of Same Day Polyethylene Glycol Bowel Preparation Regimen v Regimen Given on the Day Before Colonoscopy
The study aims to study the adequacy of bowel preparation (colon cleansing) for afternoon
colonoscopies. The conventional regimen of giving bowel prep on the evening prior to the day
of the colonoscopy will be compared with that given on the morning of an afternoon
colonoscopy. Endoscopist scoring the bowel cleansing efficacy with an Ottawa Scale are
blinded to the randomization process.
colonoscopies. The conventional regimen of giving bowel prep on the evening prior to the day
of the colonoscopy will be compared with that given on the morning of an afternoon
colonoscopy. Endoscopist scoring the bowel cleansing efficacy with an Ottawa Scale are
blinded to the randomization process.
Two bowel preparation regimens of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), commonly referred to as
"Golytely" will be tested for their efficacy (bowel cleansing effect) and patient
tolerability. The goal is to reduce the failure rates of afternoon colonoscopies, for which,
one of the main reasons attributed is inadequate bowel preparation. For the afternoon
colonoscopies, the conventional PEG regimen given on the evening prior to the day of the
colonoscopy will be compared with the novel PEG regimen given on the morning of the day of
the colonoscopy. The comparison will be drawn for two measures - bowel cleansing effect
measured from the questionnaire given to the gastroenterologists performing the colonoscopy
and the patient tolerability evaluated from the information gathered from the patient's
questionnaire.
