Abstract
in NaP group (4.7 ± 2.9) compared to the other 3 groups: 4L PEG (3.5 ± 2.9), 2L PEG + B (3.3 ± 2.7) and PS + MC (3.4 ± 2.7) (p=0.033). NaP resulted in a significantly higher proportion of inadequate preparations. The mean cleansing scores were significantly worse in AM than PM colonoscopy, a finding which was consistent in all 4 groups. NaP and PS +MCwere the best tolerated regimens. 6% of patients who took NaP had hyperphosphatemia, which was not seen in other groups. 11% of patients who took NaP developed hypokelemia, a proportion which was significantly higher than the other groups. Conclusions: 2L of PEG + B or PS + MC was as efficacious as 4L PEG and superior to NaP in bowel cleansing. Better bowel preparation was achieved with split dosing and a shorter interval between completion of bowel preparation and start of colonoscopy, irrespective of bowel preparation regimens. 2L of PEG + B and PS + MC were as safe as 4L PEG and better tolerated than 4L PEG.
