Brief Summary

Colonoscopy is a routinely performed procedure in children and adolescents. Proper visualization of the intestinal mucosa is highly dependent on the quality of the bowel preparation. European Society of Gastrointestinal Endoscopy (ESGE) emphasizes that the timing of bowel preparation is the key factor and recommends that the delay between the last dose of bowel preparation and colonoscopy should be minimized. Timing of bowel preparation prior to colonoscopy has not been studied in children population, yet. The diet regimen before colonoscopy is likely less important than the timing of bowel preparation, however may influence the well-being of children.

Study Arms (2)

low-fiber diet

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients received low-fiber diet for 24 hours before colonoscopy

Device: polyethylene glycol 3350

clear liquid diet

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients received clear liquid diet for 24 hours before colonoscopy

Device: polyethylene glycol 3350

Interventions

Patients received a polyethylene glycol 3350 solution starting at afternoon the day before the colonoscopy at a dose of 1000 ml/15 kg (maximum 4 L). The patients were instructed to drink all solution in about 4-6 hours.
