- The study aimed to assess the effectiveness and patient tolerance of three different bowel preparation methods for capsule endoscopy (CE), including a clear liquid diet, aqueous sodium phosphate, and polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution.
- The cleanliness of the small intestine was found to be similar across all three methods, with no significant differences in diagnostic yields, transit times, or patient satisfaction.
- The clear liquid diet was the most well-received among patients, indicating that it is a sufficient and preferable option for bowel preparation before CE.
