AIM: The study aimed to investigate the clinical utility of a prepackaged low-residue diet (PLD) compared with a restricted diet (RD) for colonoscopic bowel preparation. METHOD: A prospective randomized controlled trial was carried out of @entity1 undergoing colonoscopy. One hundred @entity1 were randomly assigned to PLD and RD groups. In the RD group, the @entity1 received an information sheet containing acceptable low-residue options and instructions from the medical staff. All @entity1 received 10 mL @entity1372 picosulfate the day before colonoscopy and 1 L @entity968 with @entity620 ( @entity970 -A) on the day of the colonoscopy. If the bowel preparation was not adequate, an additional PEG-A solution was given. The primary outcome was the efficacy of colonic cleansing as rated by the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS). The additional amount of PEG-A solution, @entity652 rate, and @entity1 tolerance were assessed as secondary outcomes. RESULTS: The BBPS score in the PLD group was 7.3    1.7 compared with 6.5    1.7 in the RD group. The quality of bowel preparation was significantly better in the PLD group (P < 0.05). The mean amount of additional PEG-A solution in the PLD group was smaller than in the RD group (293.8    474.8 vs. 444.1    625.0 mL), but there was no statistical difference between the two groups. @entity652 detection rates and @entity1 tolerance were similar in the two groups. CONCLUSION: PLD is superior to RD for bowel preparation for colonoscopy . This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
