Evidence-based recommendations for bowel cleansing before colonoscopy in children: a report from a national working group.

Background: There are no current recommendations for bowel cleansing before colonoscopy in children. The Israeli Society of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition (ISPGAN) established an iterative working group to formulate evidence-based guidelines for bowel cleansing in children prior to colonoscopy.

Method: Data were collected by systematic review of the literature and via a national-based survey of all endoscopy units in Israel.
