Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study Clinical TrialA randomized single-blind trial of whole versus split-dose polyethylene glycol-electrolyte solution for colonoscopy preparation.
Colonoscopy preparation regimens are often poorly tolerated because they require use of large-volume bowel preparation solution and diet restrictions for adequate cleansing. This study evaluated the efficacy and tolerability of a split-dose polyethylene glycol-electrolyte solution plus bisacodyl and a regular diet. ⋯ Colonic preparation with split-dose polyethylene glycol-electrolyte provided better quality colon cleansing and higher compliance, with less dietary restrictions, than preparation with whole-dose polyethylene glycol-electrolyte.
