Brief Summary

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

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO COMPARE THE EFFICACY, TOLERABILITY, AND SAFETY OF DIFFERENT BOWEL PREPARATIONS FOR COLONOSCOPY IN CHILDREN.

THE AIM OF THIS STUDY IS TO COMPARE THE OVERALL COLON CLEANSING

Detailed Description

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

COLONOSCOPY IS AN ESTABLISHED DIAGNOSTIC AND THERAPEUTIC TOOL IN A VARIETY OF GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT CONDITION AFFECTING CHILDREN AND ADOLESCENTs. FOR EXAMPLE: INFLAMMATORY BOWEL DISEASE, COLONIC POLYPS OR LOWER GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT BLEEDING.

THE IDEAL PREPARATION SHOULD BE OF LOW VOLUME, PALATABLE AND SUCCESSFUL IN COMPLETE COLON CLEANOUT.

PRIMARY AIMS OF THIS WERE TO COMPARE THE EFFICACY AND ACCEPTANCE OF FOUR METHODS OF BOWEL CLEANSING BEFORE COLONOSCOPY IN CHILDREN. SECONDARY AIMS WAS TO COMPARE THE SAFETY PROFILE OF THIS METHODS.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

PEG-S

polyethylene glycol 4000 solution with simethicon

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

polyethylene glycol 4000 solution with simethicon

Intervention Type DEVICE

patients received a polyethylene glycol 4000 solution with simethicon (Selg Esse) starting at 3:00 p.m. the day before the colonoscopy at a dose of 100 ml/Kg (maximum 4 L). The patients were instructed to drink all solution in about 4-6 hours.

PEG-CS + Bisacodyl

PEG-CS is a new sulphate-free iso-osmotic formulation of PEG-4000 with citrates and simethicone

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

PEG-4000 with citrates and simethicone

Intervention Type DEVICE

1-4 bisacodyl 5-mg tablets (Lovoldyl) at 16:00, followed 2-3 hours later by 50 ml/kg (maximum 2 L) of PEG-CS solution. The patients were instructed to drink all solution in about 2-3 hours.

PEG-ASC

polyethylene glycol 3350 hyper-osmotic solution with ascorbic acid

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

polyethylene glycol 3350 hyper-osmotic solution with ascorbic acid

Intervention Type DEVICE

patients received a polyethylene glycol 3350 hyper-osmotic solution with ascorbic acid (Moviprep) a dose of 50 ml/Kg (maximum 2 L) with 25 ml/kg additional clear fluid after completing solution intake.

picoprep

sodium picosulphate plus magnesium oxide and citric acid

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

sodium picosulphate plus magnesium oxide and citric acid

Intervention Type DEVICE

patients received two sachets of sodium picosulphate plus magnesium oxide and citric acid (Picoprep), each diluted in 150 ml of water, at 14:00 and 6 hours later in the evening prior to the colonoscopy. Intake of at least 40-50 ml/kg of clear fluids
