Trial summary

Colonoscopy is the current standard method for evaluating the colorectal diseases. Adequate bowel preparation is essential for optimal visualization of the colorectal mucosa. However, inadequate bowel preparation (IBP) had been unexpectedly reported in up to 30% of patients undergoing colonoscopy. Read more about this study

About this study

Colonoscopy is the current standard method for evaluating the colorectal diseases. Adequate bowel preparation is essential for optimal visualization of the colorectal mucosa. However, inadequate bowel preparation (IBP) had been unexpectedly reported in up to 30% of patients undergoing colonoscopy. Many factors may influence the quality of bowel preparation, which can be broadly categorized as patient-related or procedure-related. It has been shown that split-dose regimen or some modified educational strategies can improve the quality of bowel preparation. For the patients with possible IBP before the performing of colonoscopy, it may be better to repeat bowel preparation with modified or enhanced strategies in case of failed intubation, missed lesions or unnecessarily increased cost. Thus, it is important to set up a model to predict the quality of bowel preparation individually.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Bowel preparation instructionsOther

    The same-day preparation method was used as previously reported. Briefly, all patients were instructed to have a regular diet for breakfast and lunch, but only clear liquids for dinner on the day before the colonoscopy. They were asked to drink two bags of PEG-ELP (polyethylene glycol electrolyte powder) dissolved in 2 L of water, or 45 mL of sodium phosphate be diluted in 240 mL of cool water follow with at least 1.5 L of water at 05:00-06:00 h within 2 h on the day of colonoscopy. Patients were encouraged to drink more clear liquids after purgatives for adequate hydration before colonoscopy.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Adequate bowel preparation quality at the time of colonoscopy defined by Ottawa score<6

    Ottawa score:A)cleanliness of each part of the colon: 0=excellent 1=good 2=fair 3=poor 4=inadequate B)fluid in whole colon: small=0 moderate=1 large=2

    The bowel preparation was considered inadequate if (1) inadequate visualization on colonoscopy defined by Ottawa score≥6; (2) the colonoscopy was cancelled because of poor bowel preparation or personal reasons.

    Measured: up to 4 months

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Polyp detection rate

    The proportion of participants with at least one polyp in each group

    Measured: up to 4 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Bowel Preparation and Ottawa Score, run by Air Force Military Medical University, China at 2 sites in China.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 9 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 20 Mar 2014. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 2 sites in China. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Adequate bowel preparation quality at the time of colonoscopy defined by Ottawa score<6 (time frame: up to 4 months). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 20 Mar 2014.
