NCT03358537

Brief Summary

This was a randomized, endoscopists' blinded comparison of bowel colonoscopy cleansing and tolerability of a prespecified low-residue diet compared with a clear liquid diet and Polyethylene Glycol bowel preparation. Outcome measures included efficacy of bowel preparation, patient preparation tolerability and side-effects.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Quality of bowel colonoscopy preparation

    The quality of cleansing was recorded using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS), a four-point scoring system applied to each of the three broad regions of the colon (right=cecum and ascending, transverse= including the hepatic and splenic flexures and left=descending, sigmoid and rectum) during withdrawal. The point was assigned as 0= unprepared to 3=entire mucosa of colon segment seen well with no residual staining. Successful colon cleansing was considered when BBPS were \>2 per segment.
