Validation of a Prediction Model for Inadequate Bowel Preparation

July 30, 2025 updated by: Xingshun Qi, General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region

Validation of a Prediction Model for Inadequate Bowel Preparation Before Colonoscopy Based on a Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

We have developed a novel inadequate bowel preparation prediction model based on a systematic review and meta-analysis. The goal of this multicenter observational study is to validate the accuracy of this model.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

The primary outcome is quality of bowel preparation. The secondary outcomes include polyp/adenoma detection rate, willingness of undergoing colonoscopy again and adverse events.

Study Type

Study Type

Describes the nature of a clinical study. Study types include interventional studies (also called clinical trials), observational studies (including patient registries), and expanded access.

Participation Criteria

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria. Some examples of these criteria are a person's general health condition or prior treatments.

Eligibility Criteria

Eligibility Criteria

The key requirements that people who want to participate in a clinical study must meet or the characteristics they must have. Eligibility criteria consist of both inclusion criteria (which are required for a person to participate in the study) and exclusion criteria (which prevent a person from participating). Types of eligibility criteria include whether a study accepts healthy volunteers, has age or age group requirements, or is limited by sex.

Ages Eligible for Study

  • Adult
  • Older Adult

Accepts Healthy Volunteers

Yes

Sampling Method

Probability Sample

Study Population

Adult patients undergoing colonoscopy

Description

Inclusion Criteria:

  1. adult patients (age is ≥18 years old);
  2. patients undergoing colonoscopy;
  3. written informed consent.

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. patients undergoing emergent colonoscopy;
  2. patients with major psychiatric disorders;

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort

Group / Cohort

A group or subgroup of participants in an observational study that is assessed for biomedical or health outcomes.
Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.
Patients undergoing colonoscopy in General Hospital of Northern Theater Command
Patients were informed to eat semi-liquid and non-slag diet for breakfast and lunch and full-liquid diet for dinner on the day before colonoscopy, and be fasting on the day of colonoscopy. A split-dose 3 L PEG regimen was used for all patients.
Procedure: Bowel preparation before colonoscopy
Patients use purgative for bowel cleansing before colonoscopy.
Patients undergoing colonoscopy in First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University
Patients were informed to eat semi-liquid and non-slag diet for breakfast and lunch and full-liquid diet for dinner on the day before colonoscopy, and be fasting on the day of colonoscopy. A split-dose 2 L PEG regimen was used for all patients.
Procedure: Bowel preparation before colonoscopy
Patients use purgative for bowel cleansing before colonoscopy.
Inpatients undergoing colonoscopy in Second Affiliated Hospital of Army Medical University
We retrospectively collect data of inpatients undergoing colonoscopy. Patients were informed to eat semi-liquid and non-slag diet for breakfast and lunch and full-liquid diet for dinner on the day before colonoscopy, and be fasting on the day of colonoscopy. A full-dose 3 L PEG regimen was used for all patients.
Procedure: Bowel preparation before colonoscopy
Patients use purgative for bowel cleansing before colonoscopy.
Patients undergoing colonoscopy in No. 960 Hospital
Patients were informed to eat semi-liquid and non-slag diet for breakfast and lunch and full-liquid diet for dinner on the day before colonoscopy, and be fasting on the day of colonoscopy. Split-dose 3 L PEG, sodium phosphate or sodium picosulfate regimen were used according to the doctor's advice.
Procedure: Bowel preparation before colonoscopy
Patients use purgative for bowel cleansing before colonoscopy.

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
Quality of bowel preparation
Time Frame: During the procedure of colonoscopy
A total BBPS score ≥6 with BBPS score ≥2 for each colon segment was considered to have adequate bowel preparation. Each segment of the colon is scored from 0 to 3, with higher scores indicating superior cleansing, and summed for a total score that can range from 0 to 9.
During the procedure of colonoscopy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Adenoma and/or polyp detection rate
Time Frame: During the procedure of colonoscopy
Proportion of patients with at least one adenoma and/or polyp detected during colonoscopy
During the procedure of colonoscopy
Number of polyps and/or adenomas
Time Frame: During the procedure of colonoscopy
Number of polyps and/or adenomas detected during colonoscopy
During the procedure of colonoscopy
Adverse events
Time Frame: Before the procedure of colonoscopy
Incidence of abdominal pain, bloating, nausea/vomiting after intake of purgative.
Before the procedure of colonoscopy
