Title

A Multicenter Single-blind Comparison Between Standard and Individualized Approach in Bowel Preparation Before Colonoscopy

This study aims to compare a standard approach to bowel preparation for colonoscopy (using sodium picosulphate/magnesium citrate or 4lPEG) to an individualized approach where patients are assigned a specific regimen of either sodium picosulphate/magnesium citrate or 4lPEG depending on patient-related factors. The study aims to compare patient-related outcomes such as comfort levels during bowel cleansing and physician-related outcomes such as bowel prep quality in the two study groups.

Estimate

Drug Standard approach

bowel cleansing with either 4L PEG or sodium picosulphate/magnesium citrate

Drug Individualized approach

  • Other names: 4 L polyethylene glycol or sodium picosulphate / magnesium citrate

Standard approach Active Comparator

patients will be randomized to one of the 2 currently used bowel preparation regimens in our clinic: 4L split polyethylene glycol solution split magnesium citrate/sodium picosulphate preparation regimen

Individualized approach Experimental

patients will receive either the 4L split polyethylene glycol bowel prep regimen or the sodium picosulphate/magnesium citrate split prep regimen according to personal characteristics assessed using a self-administered questionnaire (including bowel habits, the preference for large-volume preparation and education level)
