In a study performed in 10 Italian centers, 1137 colonoscopy patients completed validated questionnaires prior to colonoscopy and had symptoms from bowel preparation tracked. Overall, symptoms were considered moderate in 26.4% of patients and severe in 9.7%. Severe symptoms occurred in 12% of those receiving a high-volume preparation versus 7% of those receiving a low-volume preparation. In multivariable analyses, predictors of severe symptoms included female sex (odds ratio [OR], 3.64), history of GI symptoms (OR, 7.81), history of somatic symptoms (OR, 2.80), chronic intake of multiple medications (OR, 2.09), and spending more time at work (OR, 1.13). A lower chance of severe symptoms was associated with positive mood (OR, 0.30) and age of 60 years or older (OR, 0.10). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compared with split-dose regimens, full-dose day-before regimens had an OR of 2.71 for severe symptoms and full-dose same-day regimens had an OR of 1.80, but the latter was a trend that did not reach significance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Compared with males with good mood and no somatic symptoms (the low-risk group), the risk of severe symptoms from preparation was highest in women with low mood and somatic symptoms (OR, 15.5). The intermediate-risk group, which included males and females with low mood and somatic symptoms, had an OR of 5.21 for severe symptoms compared with the low-risk group.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
