Personalized Colonoscopy Preparation for Patients With Risk Factors for Inadequate Preparation

September 22, 2019 updated by: Amir Klein MD, Rambam Health Care Campus

Personalized Colonoscopy Preparation for Patients With Risk Factors for Inadequate Preparation: A Randomized Control Trial

Adequate bowel preparation is one of the most important quality measures in colonoscopy. Previous studies identified several factors associated with inadequate bowel preparation (IBP). No study has attempted to assign a different regimen to patients based on the presence of risk factors for inadequate bowel preparation.

The aim of the study is to check if a personalized bowel preparation regimen based on risk factors for IBP, will lead to an overall improvement in bowel preparation during colonoscopy.

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Interventional arm (group A)
Patients with risk factors for IBP who will receive "intensified" bowel preparation
Bowel preparation
Other Names:
  • Sodium Picosulfate / Magnesium Oxide / Citric Acid in two split doses
Active Comparator: Control arm (group B)
Patients with risk factors for IBP who will receive standard bowel preparation
Bowel preparation
Other Names:
  • Sodium Picosulfate / Magnesium Oxide / Citric Acid in two split doses
Active Comparator: Control arm (group c)

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Improved bowel preparation
Time Frame: Index colonoscopy
Boston Bowel Preparation Scale at index colonoscopy will be measured. The grading is between 1 and 3 for each segment of colon (ascending, transverse, descending) where 1 is poor and 3 is excellent (subscale). The final score is between 3 and 9 summing up the scores for each segment.
Index colonoscopy
