Abstract

Obesity is a much debatable factor with conflicting evidence in relation to its association with caecum intubation rates and caecum intubation time during colonoscopy. We have designed our study to better define this association by controlling all other known confounding factors. Method- The retrospective study involved chart review of 4,494 subjects undergoing outpatient colonoscopy over a span of 18 months. Subjects with poor bowel preparation /failure of caecum intubation/ past history of IBD/ colectomy/ abdominal surgery/ personal or family history of colon cancer/ procedures done by fellow were excluded.
