OBJECTIVE: Low-volume @entity968 ( @entity970 ) bowel preparations have been developed to improve compliance for colonoscopy. Our study aimed to compare the efficacy and tolerability of low-volume @entity970 containing @entity620 for colonoscopy against 2 L of @entity970 plus @entity15021 . METHODS: We prospectively enrolled consecutive inpatients who had not undergone polypectomy at the index colonoscopy and were subsequently referred for polypectomy at our hospital. A total of 62 @entity1 were randomized to receive either low-volume @entity970 containing @entity620 (n = 31) or 2 L of @entity970 plus @entity15021 (n = 31) as a split-dose regimen in inpatients. The efficacy of preparation was determined using the @entity29 ( @entity29 ) and a 4-point scale. Adverse events, tolerability, and willingness were evaluated using a questionnaire. RESULTS: Based on the @entity29 and 4-point scale, we determined that the efficacy of low-volume @entity970 containing @entity620 was comparable to that of the 2 L of @entity970 plus @entity15021 (p = 0.071 for @entity29 , p = 0.056 for the 4-point scale). Adverse events were comparable between the two groups (p = 1.000). A greater proportion of @entity1 in the low-volume @entity970 containing @entity620 (90.6%) and the 2L of @entity970 plus @entity15021 (96.9%) were willing to repeat the same preparation for subsequent colonoscopy. CONCLUSION: Low-volume @entity970 containing @entity620 had comparable efficacy and tolerability to 2 L of @entity970 plus @entity15021 , when given as a split dose, for colonoscopy in inpatients. Split-dose low-volume @entity970 containing @entity620 is a good alternative for bowel preparation for colonoscopy in inpatients.
