“…All patients were instructed to drink only clear liquids the entire day before the procedure. The 9-point modified Boston Bowel Prep Scale (BBPS) [19] , as recorded in our electronic endoscopy database, was used to evaluate effectiveness in each part of the colon (left, transverse, right) using a scale of 1 to 3 as follows: 1 = residual stool/mucosa not well seen; 2 = stool fragments but mucosa well seen; 3 = no stool present (maximum score = 9). A score of zero in the original BBPS was considered equivalent to one.…”

AIM: Several bowel preps are currently used for colonoscopy but only limited data are available comparing the different products. METHODS:We retrospectively reviewed all colonoscopies performed at Georgetown U. Hospital from May 2013 to May 2014. A 9-point modified Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) was utilized (best score = 9) by experienced endoscopists. Colonoscopies without a BBPS score were excluded. seen for women vs men overall for both split-dose and day-prior dosepreps (with the exception of Moviprep ® in PD preps). Higher scores were seen for a.m. procedures but were not significant. All preps had lower scores in the right colon, regardless of being splitdose or day-prior dose. CONCLUSIONS: This real world experience in nearly 3600 patients confirms that split dosing is superior to day-prior dosing. We found women had higher BBPS scores than men but no differences were seen between morning and afternoon procedures. All preps were relatively comparable, however differences in price may be an important decision-maker. RESULTS:

-Background -Colonoscopy is an important diagnostic and therapeutic procedure. Adequate bowel preparation is mandatory.Several regimens were discussed in the literature. Among the drugs which has recently used, polyethylene glycol is one of the most popular agents. Objectives -The aim of this study was to compare efficacy of three different methods for 1 day preparation before colonoscopy. Methods -This study included children with the range of ages (2-21) who had an indication of colonoscopy. Exclusion criteria were based on the history of previous surgery, parental disagreement, and patients who did not use preparation protocol. Three methods for bowel preparation were studied: 1-Polyethylene glycol only; 2-Polyethylene glycol and bisacodyl suppositories; 3-Polyethylene glycol plus normal saline enema. Boston Bowel Preparation Score was used for evaluation of preparation. SPSS version 16.0 (Chicago, IL, USA) were used for data analysis. Results -In this study 83 cases completed the bowel preparation completely. Acceptable bowel preparation was seen in 24 (85.71%), 36 (94.73%), and 14 (82.35%) of cases in PEG, PEG + bisacodyl, and PEG + normal saline enema groups respectively. PEG + bisacodyl suppositories was more effective than PEG + normal saline for the preparation of the first segment (P=0.05). For second and third segment of colon, BPPS score was higher in PEG + bisacodyl suppositories compared to other regimens, but this difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion -There was no significant difference between 1 day colonoscopy regimens in terms of bowel preparation score. Lowest score was seen in PEG + enema group compared to other group. HEADINGS -Bisacodyl. Colonoscopy. Polyethylene glycols.

“…Efficacy assessment: the BPPS To measure efficacy in bowel preparation, we utilized the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS), 19, 20 a previously validated bowel preparation scoring system based on the summation of the preparation scores from three segments of the colon (right colon, transverse colon and left colon). The total is a 10-point scale that ranges from 0 to 9.…”

“…We hypothesized that for screening colonoscopy, MiraLAX ⁄ Gatorade is as efficacious for bowel cleansing as the well-established Golytely and is more tolerable for patients. Our aims were to compare the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BPPS) 19,20 scores of MiraLAX ⁄ Gatorade and Golytely in out-patient screening colonoscopies, and to examine differences in patient tolerability between the two preparations.…”
