Colorectal Cancer Screening and Detection

Methods Adults (Age>18 years) undergoing diagnostic colonoscopy were prospectively included from July 2021- July 2022(Number=445). Demography, indication of colonoscopy, bowel movements after preparation, stool colour, time interval between preparation completion and procedure, preparation quantity, diet and water consumption in preceding 24 hours were noted. Boston bowel preparation score (BBPS) <6 was considered as poor bowel preparation. All patients received split dose bowel preparation regimens. Logistic regression was used to determine predictors of poor preparation. Risk scores were assigned using nomogram and Risk score (BOWELPREP score) was developed.
