NCT03247452

Brief Summary

This is a single center randomized controlled trial to compare bowel cleansing for outpatient colonoscopy in two groups of participants: one group will receive instructions of one-day structured low fiber diet whilst the other group will receive three-day low fiber diet. Both groups will receive the same bowel cleansing solution (polyethylene glycol plus ascorbic acid). Bowel cleansing will be assessed according the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Boston Bowel Preparation Scale

    This scale goes from 0 (no preparation) to 3 points (excellent preparation) in the three segments of the colon (Proximal, transverse and distal). Maximum punctuation is 9 points

    7 months

Secondary Outcomes (2)

  • Proportion of polyps detected in each arm

    7 months

  • Degree of satisfaction with diet

    7 months

Study Arms (2)

One-day low fiber diet

ACTIVE COMPARATOR

Patients assigned to the active comparator will receive oral and written instructions about the same structured low fiber diet designed by an Endocrinologist but they will follow this diet only the day before colonoscopy. 2 liters of polyethylene glycol plus ascorbic acid will be administered

Other: One-day Low fiber dietDrug: Polyethylene Glycol plus ascorbic acid

Three-day low fiber diet

EXPERIMENTAL

Patients assigned to the experimental group will receive oral and written instructions about a structured low fiber diet designed by an Endocrinologist. They must follow this diet three days before colonoscopy. 2 liters of polyethylene glycol plus ascorbic acid will be administered

Other: Three-day low fiber dietDrug: Polyethylene Glycol plus ascorbic acid

Interventions

One-day low fiber diet before colonoscopy

One-day low fiber diet

Three days low fiber diet before colonoscopy

Three-day low fiber diet

2 liters of Polyethylene Glycol plus ascorbic acid will be administered to both groups
