Abstract EN
This single center, randomized, and controlled study aimed to compare the effectiveness and safety of polyethylene glycol electrolyte lavage (PEG-EL) solution and colonic hydrotherapy (CHT) for bowel preparation before colonoscopy.
A total of 196 eligible outpatients scheduled for diagnostic colonoscopy were randomly assigned to the PEG-EL (n=102) or CHT (n=94) groups.
Primary outcome measures included colonic cleanliness and adverse effects.
Secondary outcome measures were patient satisfaction and preference, colonoscopic findings, ileocecal arrival rate, examiner satisfaction, and cecal intubation time.
The results show that PEG-EL group was associated with significantly better colonic cleanliness than CHT group, fewer adverse effects, and increased examiner satisfaction.
However, the CHT group had higher patient satisfaction and higher diverticulosis detection rates.
Moreover, the results showed the same ileocecal arrival rate and patient preference between the two groups (P>0.05).
These findings indicate that PEG-EL is the preferred option in patients who followed the preparation instructions completely.
