Inadequate Preparation for Colonoscopy; Personalized Colonoscopy Preparation Clinical Trial
Official title:
Personalized Colonoscopy Preparation for Patients With Risk Factors for Inadequate Preparation: A Randomized Control Trial
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 | Improved bowel preparation | 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. | Index colonoscopy |
