This article discusses the challenges of performing colonoscopies in octogenarians and older patients due to difficulties with bowel preparation. The study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness and tolerability of using 1L polyethylene glycol plus ascorbic acid (1L PEG+ASC) for bowel preparation in this population. The study included 423 patients aged 80 to 95 years who underwent colonoscopy in Spain and Portugal. The results showed that 1L PEG+ASC was highly effective and well tolerated, with over half of the patients achieving high-quality colon cleansing. The study also reported a cecal intubation rate of 94.9% and polyp detection rates of 45.6% in the total colon and 26.7% in the right colon. The incidence of adverse events was low, with dehydration and nausea being the most commonly reported. Overall, these findings suggest that 1L PEG+ASC is a viable option for bowel preparation in older patients undergoing colonoscopy. [Extracted from the article] |
