| Core Tip |
This is the first randomized controlled trial that demonstrates that an educational intervention improves colonoscopy attendance in the non-screening colonoscopy setting. We found that bidirectional communication is the crucial point in reducing the non-attendance rate and telephone contact is a valid educational option. An endoscopy nurse is also a valid person to conduct the educational intervention and could be the ideal person to eliminate barriers that negatively influence the patient’s attendance. This educational intervention also improves protocol compliance and patient satisfaction and has a large economic impact, which supports its implementation and maintenance over time. |
