Brief Summary

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

This study aims to compare a standard approach to bowel preparation for colonoscopy (using sodium picosulphate/magnesium citrate or 4lPEG) to an individualized approach where patients are assigned a specific regimen of either sodium picosulphate/magnesium citrate or 4lPEG depending on patient-related factors. The study aims to compare patient-related outcomes such as comfort levels during bowel cleansing and physician-related outcomes such as bowel prep quality in the two study groups.

Outcome Assessors

Study Groups

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

Standard approach

patients will be randomized to one of the 2 currently used bowel preparation regimens in our clinic:

* 4L split polyethylene glycol solution
* split magnesium citrate/sodium picosulphate preparation regimen

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Standard approach

Intervention Type DRUG

bowel cleansing with either 4L PEG or sodium picosulphate/magnesium citrate

Individualized approach

patients will receive either the 4L split polyethylene glycol bowel prep regimen or the sodium picosulphate/magnesium citrate split prep regimen according to personal characteristics assessed using a self-administered questionnaire (including bowel habits, the preference for large-volume preparation and education level)

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL
