Effect of Low-volume (1L) vs Intermediate-volume (2L) Bowel Preparation on Cost-effectiveness and Quality of Life (RESULT)

November 18, 2024 updated by: Radboud University Medical Center

Effect of Low-volume (1L) vs Intermediate-volume (2L) Bowel Preparation on Cost-effectiveness and Quality of Life (RESULT Study). A Multicenter Randomized Controlled Trial

Adequate bowel preparation for colonoscopy is paramount for optimal diagnostic accuracy and safety. However, the need for high volumes to clean the colon often makes it difficult for patients to adhere to. Therefore, new low volume bowel preparation fluids have been developed. Little is known on the impact of these low volume bowel preparation fluids (1L), compared to intermediate-volume (2L) laxatives on quality of life (QoL) and cost-effectiveness. This study aims to provide further evidence on the presumed positive effect of ultra-low volume bowel preparation on patients' QoL and cost-effectiveness, in addition to its already demonstrated positive effect on bowel cleansing for colonoscopy.

This multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted in four hospitals in the Netherlands. Secure web-based questionnaires will be used before starting bowel preparation (baseline, t=0) and within 1 week (t=1) after colonoscopy, to assess the impact of bowel preparation on QoL and explore costs and productivity loss for cost-effectiveness analysis.

Detailed Description

Background and aims: Adequate bowel preparation for colonoscopy is paramount for optimal diagnostic accuracy and safety. However, the need for high volumes to clean the colon often makes it difficult for patients to adhere to. Therefore, new low volume bowel preparation fluids have been developed. Little is known on the impact of these low volume bowel preparation fluids (1L), compared to intermediate-volume (2L) laxatives on quality of life (QoL) and cost-effectiveness. This study aims to provide further evidence on the presumed positive effect of ultra-low volume bowel preparation on patients' QoL and cost-effectiveness, in addition to its already demonstrated positive effect on bowel cleansing for colonoscopy.

Study design: This multicenter randomized controlled trial (RCT) will be conducted in four hospitals in the Netherlands. Secure web-based questionnaires will be used before starting bowel preparation (baseline, t=0) and within 1 week (t=1) after colonoscopy, to assess the impact of bowel preparation on QoL and explore costs and productivity loss for cost-effectiveness analysis. Data on colonoscopy findings and complications will be retrieved from the patients' medical record.

Study population: This multicenter study will include 470 patients from 4 hospitals.

Intervention: Patients will be randomized during the pre-colonoscopy hospital visit between a specialized low-volume 1-liter bowel preparation fluid (Pleinvue) or an intermediate-volume 2-liter bowel preparation fluid (Moviprep), which are already both routinely used as bowel preparation for colonoscopy in the Netherlands.

Nature and extent of the burden and risks associated with participation, benefit and group relatedness: There is no direct benefit for patients participating in this study. Risk associated with participation are considered minimal, and are limited to the possibility of privacy related issues. Nonetheless, this is considered to be minimal because of the use of pseudonymized data and GDPR compliant databases. In the future, results from this study could possibly benefit patients undergoing colonoscopy, with the possibility of reducing the need for repeat colonoscopies and improving patient experience of colonoscopies.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Boston Bowel preparation scale score (total and per segment)
Time Frame: during colonoscopy procedure
Level of bowel cleanliness achieved with the bowel preparation used. Segmental scores range from 0 to 3, in which 0 is worst and 3 is best. A segmental score of 2 or more is considered adequate for colonoscopy.
during colonoscopy procedure
Proportion of adequately prepared patients per type of bowel preparation
Time Frame: during colonoscopy procedure
Level of bowel cleanliness achieved with the bowel preparation used. Segmental boston bowel preparation scores range from 0 to 3, in which 0 is worst and 3 is best. A segmental score of 2 or more is considered adequate for colonoscopy.
during colonoscopy procedure
