Implication

Retrospective study reveals poor bowel preparation in nearly a quarter of individuals undergoing colonoscopy, highlighting a need for improved, personalized patient education.

Key Points

Inadequate colon cleansing affected nearly a quarter of patients undergoing colonoscopy, often leading to procedural interruptions and compromised colorectal cancer detection.
Poor bowel preparation occurred in 24.2% of evaluated individuals on the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale, with 13.5% receiving the minimum score of zero.
Retrospective single-center analysis of 1977 colonoscopies highlights the need for targeted patient education, especially among hospitalized individuals with poor bowel preparation.
