A safe and effective multi–day colonoscopy bowel preparation for individuals with spinal cord injuries

摘要

Context/ObjectiveColonoscopy with polypectomy is associated with a reduced risk of colorectal cancer (CRC), but poor bowel cleansing limits the diagnostic yield of the procedure. Patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) frequently have suboptimal bowel cleansing with standard pre-colonoscopy bowel preparation regimens. We aimed to assess the safety, tolerability, and efficacy of a multi–day inpatient bowel preparation regimen in a population of patients with SCI.
