Summary

This is a prospective, randomized, single-blind study designed to evaluate the influence of individual approach on bowel preparation quality for colonoscopy. The investigators compare split-dose polyethylene glycol solution (PEG, Fortrans, Beaufour Ipsen) to modified split-dose PEG regarding predictors of inadequate preparation for colonoscopy.

Detailed description

Up to 22% of patients are not good prepared for colonoscopy and it is caused of aborted procedures and increased costs. There are identified predictors of inadequate bowel preparation before colonoscopy, but we still don't know if an individual approach improve the quality of preparation.

Conditions

• Split-dose Bowel Preparation
• Polyethylene Glycol Solution
• Risk Factors Inadequate Preparation

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
OTHER	individual preparation for colonoscopy	The volume of polyethylene glycol solution depends on risk factors presented in each patient. Time of administration of second dose will be confirmed according to the time of colonoscopy. In case of constipation an enema before colonoscopy will be administered. All patients will give educational booklet of preparation before colonoscopy
