What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (continuous)

    Quality of bowel preparation measured by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. Scores range from 0 through 3. Higher scores indicate a better outcome..

    Time frame: Perioperative/Periprocedural

Secondary outcomes

  1. Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (categorical)

    Boston Bowel Preparation Scale adequacy of preparation score ≥ 2 in all regions. Quality measured by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. Scores range from 0 through 3. Higher scores indicate a better outcome..

    Time frame: Perioperative/Periprocedural

  2. Polyp detection rate proportion

    Proportion of individuals undergoing a colonoscopy in whom at least one polyp is detected. Values range from 0 through 1. Higher values indicate a better outcome.

    Time frame: Perioperative/Periprocedural

  3. Adenoma detection rate proportion

    Proportion of individuals undergoing a colonoscopy in whom at least one adenomatous polyp is found. Values range from 0 through 1. Higher values indicate a better outcome.

    Time frame: Perioperative/Periprocedural

  4. Cecal intubation rate proportion

    Proportion of colonoscopies in which the endoscope successfully reaches the caecum. Values range from 0 through 1. Higher values indicate a better outcome.

    Time frame: Perioperative/Periprocedural

  5. Withdrawal time

    Duration in minutes taken to withdraw the colonoscope from the caecum to the rectum. Values range from 1 through 60. Higher values indicate a worse outcome.

    Time frame: Perioperative/Periprocedural

  6. Adherence to bowel preparation instructions

    Following what was told to do by bowel preparation instructions. Total of 7 original questions scored as no for 0 or yes for 1 with a total score ranging from 0 through 7. Higher values indicate a better outcome.

    Time frame: Perioperative/Periprocedural

  7. Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale

    Self-assessed at baseline using the Amsterdam Preoperative Anxiety and Information Scale (APAIS). Scores range from 6 through 30. Higher scores greater anxiety.

    Time frame: baseline

  8. Overall experience with the bowel preparation process

    Self-report about experience with the bowel preparation process. One original question with 5 choices of very unpleasant, unpleasant , neutral , pleasant , very pleasant . There is no score. The best answer would be "very pleasant."

    Time frame: Perioperative/Periprocedural

  9. Desire to undergo future colonoscopies if indicated

    Self-report about having another colonoscopy. One original question with 5 choices of strongly disagree, disagree, neutral, agree , strongly agree. The best answer would be "strongly agree."

    Time frame: Perioperative/Periprocedural
