The study aim is to investigate factors associated with patient satisfaction during a colonoscopy.

Detailed Description

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

The study aim to capture key quality indicators and patient satisfaction for 800 patients referred for a colonoscopy at Aalborg University Hospital. The patient population is mix of screening and non-screening colonoscopies seen at our out-patient clinic.
