Tu1164 HYGIEACARE PREP FOR COLONOSCOPY CONSISTENTLY PROVIDES 97% ADEQUACY, AND IS AGNOSTIC TO PREDICTORS OF POOR ORAL BOWEL PREP

The quality of bowel preparation (BP) before colonoscopy plays a pivotal role in the safety, efficacy and quality of the outcome of colonoscopy. Inadequate BP is evident in more than 25% of all colonoscopies. High-quality BP is critical for detection of precancerous lesions.. Inadequate BP is correlated with patient-specific factors including age, male gender, medications, comorbidities such as chronic constipation, diabetes, gastrointestinal surgery, cirrhosis, stroke, and irritable bowel disease (IBD).
