Filter by:The objective is to demonstrate that investigational drug, Quiklean®, is not inferior to standard comparator, Klean-Prep with Dulcolax®, with respect to the overall quality of bowel preparation in subjects undergoing colonoscopy.
Sodium picosulfate/magnesium citrate (SPMC) is generally better tolerated than PEG, its cleansing effect remains uncertain. While most studies showed SPMC was non-inferior to PEG, some studies reported that SPMC was less effective than PEG. To improve the bowel cleansing effect of SPMC, splitting the dose by using one sachet the evening before colonoscopy and the other sachet 4 to 5 hours before colonoscopy in the morning, has been proposed.Adding bisacodyl to the regimen also has been shown to be helpful. Some side effects, such as hyponatremia, dehydration and sleep disturbance, were reported to be more commonly associated with SPMC than with PEG. To enhance the efficacy and reduce the side effects, two studies have evaluated the combination of SPMC and PEG, with conflicting results.The effect of combining PEG and SPMC should be best appreciated with head-to-head comparison with PEG and SPMC alone at the same time. Therefore we designed this head-to-head comparison study for 2 L PEG, 1L PEG plus one sachet of SPMC and 2 sachet of SPMC, all with split-dose and the addition of 10 ml bisacodyl. Our hypothesis is the bowel cleansing effect of the combination regimen was not inferior to PEG alone. The tolerability, acceptability and side effects of the 3 regimen will also be evaluated. Patients will be randomly assigned to either PEG, PEG plus SPMC or SPMC group, in a 1:1:1 ratio using a computer-generated sequence. The treatment allocation will be concealed and revealed by non-research medical personnel at the screening visit.
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate the performance of an artificial intelligence(AI) assisted Boston Bowel preparation Scoring(BBPS) system for evaluation of bowel cleanness, then testify whether this new scoring system can help physicians to improve the quality control parameters of colonoscopy in clinic practice.
Surgical site infection (SSI) is a major postoperative complication after abdominal surgery especially in colorectal field, which significantly increases length of stay (LOS), readmission incidence and expense. Therefore, identification of the effective method to reduce SSI incidence is critically important. Combination of oral antibiotics and mechanical bowel preparation was reported with lower SSIs and LOS in some retrospecitve data analysis, however a prospective randmized controlled trial was absent. Herein, the current randomized controlled trial comparing MBP+OA with MBP alone in postoperative complications in order to guide clinical practise was conducted.
Proper bowel cleansing before colonoscopy is an important factor to increase the detection rate of lesions. Low volume polyethylene glycol (PEG) plus ascorbic (PEG-Asc) has reduced the dosage of previous bowel preparation agent, but it still presents discomfort to patients. The aim of this study was to confirm the efficacy and convenience of volume reduction of PEG-Asc by adding bisacodyl suppository at the same day by compared with conventional 2L PEG-Asc.
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.
The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between the change of intestinal bacterial flora and the recovery, and the incidence of symptoms such as abdominal discomfort after colonoscopy. And the investigators will also analyze the effects of probiotics on the degree of change, recovery, and symptom development in intestinal flora.
We aimed to develop a predictive model of inadequate bowel preparation and to further validate it by a randomized controlled trial.
This is a prospective randomized study compared with active control arm. The investigators compare the colon cleansing in patients undergoing colonoscopy.
Colonoscopy is the best method to detect colorectal cancer and colonic polyps. Studies showed that adenoma detection rate positive correlation with good bowel preparation which makes bowel preparation an important issue. Hence, investigators conduct a clinical trial about adding another laxative agent to morning single dose low-volume PEG. To see if this new regimen could have non-inferior efficacy and lower life/sleep impact compared with standard regimen.
