SS 2.4 - Low-volume reduced bowel preparation for CTC: a randomised controlled trial
Abstract
Purpose
To investigate the feasibility and patient tolerance of a reduced bowel preparation for CTC.
Material and methods
Asymptomatic and symptomatic patients were enrolled in this multicentric randomised trial. All patients were randomly assigned (1:1 ratio, blocks of ten) to receive a reduced (52.5 g of Macrogol dissolved in 500 mL of water, RBP) or full (105 g of Macrogol in 1000 mL, FBP) bowel preparation and faecal tagging. Five readers performed a blinded subjective image analysis, by means of four-point Likert scales from 0 (highest score) to 3 (worst score). Endpoints were the quality of large bowel cleansing and tolerance to the assigned bowel preparation regimen.
Results
Seventy-eight patients were randomly allocated to treatments (44 in FBP group, 34 in RBP group). Both groups resulted in optimal colon cleansing. Homogeneity of fluid tagging (median score 0 vs 0, p=0.075), volume of residual stools (median score 0 vs 0, p=0.082), and colonic distension (median score 0 vs 0, p=0.073) were similar for both groups. RBP resulted in better patient tolerance.
Conclusion
Reduced bowel preparation may provide better tolerance for patients undergoing CTC without affecting colon cleansing and image quality.
