Article Synopsis
- GLP-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) slow down gastric emptying and may affect bowel preparation for colonoscopy, but their impact on bowel preparation adequacy was under-studied.
- A multicenter study compared 4,876 patients using GLP-1RAs with 4,876 matched controls, finding that 10% of GLP-1RA users had inadequate bowel preparation (IBP), compared to just 4% of controls.
- Results indicated that both diabetes and GLP-1RA usage independently increased the risk of IBP, suggesting that special attention is needed for these patients.
