Colonic Neoplasms Clinical Trial
Official title:
A 3-day Versus 1-day Low Residue Diet to Improve Colonoscopy Preparation Result and Patient Tolerability: A Prospective, Randomized, Single-blinded, Controlled Trial
Colonoscopy is one of the most common methods for the diagnosis and treatment of lower
gastrointestinal tract diseases and provides a unique opportunity to identify early
neoplastic lesions.
Adequate bowel preparation is important for optimal colonoscopy. New bowel-cleansing
regimens, study of patient-related risk factors to fail a proper preparation and diet
adaptations have been studied recently.
A low residue diet is the standard in the day before the colonoscopy. Some endoscopists
prescribe this dietary plan for a 3-day period prior to the exam, although no study compared
the recommended 1-day versus 3-day diet regime, or the influence in bowel preparation
results.
The aim of this project is to determine if the use of a 3-day low residue diet improves bowel
preparations results and the influence in patient tolerability and adherence.
a. Study type: prospective, randomized, single-blinded trial:
i. Prospective inclusion of ambulatory patients;
ii. Randomization by computer generated tables;
iii. Allocation concealment by sealed, opaque envelopes;
iv. Patient not blinded to diet;
v. Endoscopist blinded to the diet followed by each patient.
b. Patient selection: Consecutive series of patients scheduled for total colonoscopy;
Exclusion criteria: inpatients, sedation, urgent procedures, colonoscopies not intended to
reach the caecum, patient with previous partial colectomy.
c. Sample Size:
i. 412 individuals; 2 groups of 206 patients
ii. Primary goal: to achieve a reduction from 15 to 5% of inappropriate preparation result;
The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) will be used as grading system. Inappropriate is
defined as total BBPS < 6 or < 2 in any segment. The chosen scale is the most systematically
validated and appropriate for the clinical setting. iii.Both groups, from a community-based
outpatient ambulatory center, used the same split dose regimen with Polyethylene glycol
(PEG).Patients were instructed to drink 3 L of PEG preparation on the afternoon of the day
prior to the exam and 1 L four hours before the scheduled exam time. All the exams scheduled
for morning period. Assuming a normal distribution, a power of 90% and a type I error of
0.05, the calculated sample size for each group was 188; allowing a 10% dropout rate, the
sample size is 206 per group (412 patients overall); Groups: Group A: 3-day low residue diet
+ split dose preparation; Group B: 1-day low residue diet + split dose preparation
d. Endoscopist:
Exams to be conduct by 5 board-certified gastroenterologists and 2 supervised fellows in
training; All physicians were trained in the use of BBPS by online training available at
http://cori.org/bbps/, and have been using the BBPS for at least 3 months.
e. Data collection methods: form sheet filled by the endoscopist and patient opinion
regarding the assigned bowel preparation protocol.
f. Analyzed variables:
i. Primary outcome: BBPS score
ii. Secondary outcome: Patient assessment of tolerance and acceptance of the preparation and
diet
iii. Tertiary outcome: polyp detection rate (PDR), polyp location, size and configuration;
adenoma detection rate (ADR), cecum intubation rate
iv. Other variables and patients characteristics (age, gender, chronic medication, risk
factors for inappropriate preparation), withdrawal time.
g. Statistical analysis: T-test for groups comparing quantitative variables with normal
distribution (primary outcome); Qui square test for groups comparing proportions (secondary
and tertiary outcomes)
