Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of SMS (short message service of mobile phone) reminder to fix PC interval for bowel preparation in afternoon colonoscopy.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Bowel preparation quality for colonoscopy is influenced by several factors and preparation-to-colonoscopy (PC) interval is one of the important factors. The bowel preparation with split-dose PEG (polyethylene glycol) is an obviously uncomfortable process, it is usually difficult to ingest PEG in time. Therefore, the investigators conducted a prospective randomized control study to evaluate the effectiveness of fixed PC interval for satisfactory bowel preparation in the afternoon colonoscopy using mobile phone short message service (SMS), which reported that it could increase patient's compliance in other practical era

No-SMS group

In No-SMS group took 1st 2L of PEG solution at 6-8 PM on the day before colonoscopy and started drinking the 2nd 2L PEG at about 6hours before the day of the colonoscopy without SMS.

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

polyethylene glycol (PEG)

Intervention Type DRUG

No-SMS group took 1st 2L of PEG solution at 6-8 PM on the day before colonoscopy and started drinking the 2nd 2L PEG at about 6hours before the day of the colonoscopy.

SMS group took 1st 2L PEG as same manner of No-SMS group and then started drinking the 2nd 2L PEG at about 6hours before the day of the colonoscopy after receiving scheduled SMS

SMS group

Patients in SMS group took 1st 2L PEG as same manner of No-SMS group and then started drinking the 2nd 2L PEG at about 6hours before the day of the colonoscopy after receiving scheduled short message service(SMS)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Short message service of mobile phone (SMS)

Intervention Type BEHAVIORAL

In SMS group, patients took 1st dose polyethylene glycol (PEG) 2L at 6-8pm the day before colonoscopy and then start to take 2nd dose PEG 2L after receiving Short message service of mobile phone (SMS) 6hours before afternoon colonoscopy.
