Abstract

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common forms of cancer. The diagnosis examination could be discovered  through colonoscopy. The quality of bowel preparation  notably influences the efficacy of detecting colon polyps. A  retrospective study was conducted to shed light on this  crucial aspect, examining data extracted from the medical records of Lom Sak Hospital and Wichian Buri Hospital from July 2020 to October 2021. This study aimed to compare the effectiveness of colonoscopy bowel preparation between a one-day regimen and a split-dose regimen in 264 patients, divided into the one-day regimen group and the split-dose  regimen group of 132 cases each. Bowel preparation data  for endoscopy were studied using the Boston bowel  preparation scale and data collecting forms. The study revealed that the average score for bowel cleanliness after the colon preparation using split-dose regimen was   significantly higher than that of the one-day regimen [8.23  ± 0.92 vs 6.39 ± 1.34 (p < 0.001)]. Both methods represented  no complications. In conclusion, bowel cleanliness after the  colon preparation using a split-dose regimen in patients is  more effective than one day regimen
