摘要
Objectives Inadequate bowel preparation (BP) negatively affects the efficacy and quality of colonoscopy. Although constipation has already been reported as one of the most important predictors of inadequate BP, there is limited information on the relation between inadequate BP and bowel habits including constipation-related symptoms, medications, and severity of constipation. Methods This single-center, prospective observational study was conducted between August 2019 and May 2020. All participants answered questionnaires regarding personal bowel habits and received low-volume polyethylene glycol plus ascorbic acid for outpatient colonoscopy. Severity of constipation was evaluated by constipation scoring system. Bowel preparation cleansing was evaluated using Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS). Potential predictors of inadequate BP were analyzed using multivariate logistic regression models. Results Overall, 1054 patients were enrolled, of which, 105 (10%) had inadequate BP (total BBPS ≤ 6 or any segmental BBPS < 2). The risk of inadequate BP increased with constipation severity ( P = 0.01). Multivariate analysis showed that frequent straining (> 25% of defecations) (OR 2.09, 95% CI: 1.33–3.28) and chronic use of stimulant laxatives (OR 2.57, 95% CI: 1.59–4.17) were significant predictors of inadequate BP, among personal bowel habits. Conclusion Frequent straining and chronic use of stimulant laxatives were predictors of inadequate BP. An intensified preparation regimen should be considered for severely constipated patients with straining and chronic use of stimulant laxatives.
