Patient Tolerability of Bowel Preparation is Associated with Polyp Detection Rate During Colonoscopy

Abstract: Background & Aims: A number of factors have been identified that influence the yield of screeningcolonoscopy. The perceived tolerability of bowel preparation has not been studied as a predictor of quality outcomes in colonoscopy. We aimed to characterize the association between patient-perceived tolerability of bowel preparation and polyp detection during colonoscopy.Methods: We performed a cross-sectional cohort study of 413 consecutive adult patients presenting foroutpatient colonoscopy at two outpatient… Show more

“…Male patients were more likely to report a tolerable bowel preparation experience than female patients, consistently with previously published literature [ 29 , 30 ]. These earlier studies are unlikely to represent the diverse patient population included in this study, further suggesting that sex is an independent risk factor for bowel preparation tolerability.…”

“…This difference was not explained by other factors, including age, country, indication for colonoscopy or rapidity of intake of the preparation. Worse tolerability of colonoscopy preparations in females than in males has been reported in previous studies involving OSS [25] and other bowel preparations [26].…”

“…BBPS was converted to the Aronchick scale using data from Lai et al [ 18 ]. Only one publication used the Ottawa scale and due to limited data only conversion to the broad categories optimal/ suboptimal was possible [ 19 ]. No study used the Chicago scale.…”
