Summary

Bowel preparation regimens typically incorporate dietary modifications along with oral cathartics. Inadequate bowel preparation can result in failed detection of prevalent neoplastic lesions and has been linked to an increased risk of procedural adverse events. Previous studies have suggested that patient compliance is important to ensure proper bowel cleansing. Patient counseling along with written instructions that are simple and easy to follow and in their native language should be provided to patients. Thus, interventions that improve the quality of bowel preparation could have a great benefit regarding colonoscopy results. Little in the literature that studies the impact of enhanced patient education on bowel preparation quality. In this study we aim to determine the impact of patient education using telephone call one day prior to outpatient colonoscopy on bowel preparation quality.
