Core Tip	Bowel preparation selection in children should prioritize safety and tolerability, with efficacy an additional important consideration. Currently, there are no universally preferred bowel preparation regimens for children, and standardized protocols are few. Sodium picosulfate, magnesium oxide, and citric acid (SPMC) low volume bowel preparation had higher tolerability in children 9-16 years compared to polyethylene glycol (PEG)-based preparations, potentially due to a lower volume of bowel preparation to ingest. SPMC bowel preparation efficacy and safety were comparable to PEG.
