Objectives: Administering a purgative close to the time of colonoscopy is optimal for cleansing. The aim of this study was to compare the efficacy and tolerability of morning-only (AM-only) polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution (PEG-ELS) to split-dose (PM/AM) PEG-ELS for afternoon colonoscopy.
Methods: This was a single-center, prospective, randomized, investigator-blinded, non-inferiority study comparing AM-only to PM/AM PEG-ELS for afternoon outpatient colonoscopy.
Background: Providing a procedure report to patients after endoscopy is inconsistently practiced by clinicians.
Objective: To evaluate the effect of providing a procedure report to patients after an outpatient endoscopy.
Outcome Measurements: Demographic data, including age, sex, race, and endoscopic procedures.
