| Core Tip |
The effectiveness of colonoscopy strictly depends on adequate bowel cleansing. Nevertheless, bowel preparation is not always well accepted and tolerated by all patients. Recently, a 1 L polyethylene glycol plus ascorbate solution has been introduced on the evidence of three phase-3 randomized controlled trials, but it had never been tested in the real-life. This prospective, multicenter, observational study performed on 1289 patients undergoing screening or diagnostic colonoscopy, confirmed the effectiveness and tolerability of very low-volume preparation for colonoscopy, also showing that it is an independent predictor of overall cleansing success, high-quality cleansing of the right colon and of tolerability. |
