Investigating bowel preparation quality before colonoscopy

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the current bowel preparation protocols and their effectiveness across various hospitals in China, particularly in light of the updated 2023 guidelines. It will identify risk factors that lead to inadequate bowel preparation in patients scheduled for colonoscopy. The study involves developing a standardized questionnaire for data collection, conducting audits of preparation practices, and training healthcare providers on compliance with the new guidelines. Ultimately, it seeks to create a risk prediction model and propose personalized bowel preparation strategies based on individual patient characteristics.
