Aims Hospitalization is a strong predictor for inadequate colon cleansing before colonoscopy, increasing missed pathology and costs for healthcare system. We aimed to identify factors associated to inadequate colon cleansing among inpatients, and to derive and validate a predictive model.
Methods Multicentre prospective observational study in 12 Italian hospitals. Consecutive adult inpatients were enrolled from February to May 2019 (derivation cohort) and from June to August 2019 (validation cohort). Inadequate cleansing was defined as BBPS< 2 in ≥1 colon segment. Multivariate logistic regression was applied.
Results 1,524 patients underwent colonoscopy (54% male; mean age 69 ± 16 years). Adequate colon cleansing rate was 68%(n=1,032). Meetings to optimize bowel preparation(OR 0.42,CI 0.27-0.65), written and oral instructions to patients(OR 0.48,CI 0.36-0.65), admission to Gastroenterology ward(OR 0.71,CI 0.51-0.98), split-dose regimen(OR 0.27,CI 0.20-0.35), the administration of a 1-Litre polyethylene glycol-based bowel purge(OR 0.39,CI 0.23-0.65), and≥75% intake of bowel preparation(OR 0.09,CI 0.05-0.15) were protective factors against inadequate colon cleansing, whereas bed-ridden status(OR 2.14,CI 1.55- 2.98), constipation(OR 2.16,CI 1.55-3), diabetes mellitus(OR 1.61,CI 1.18-2.20), anti-psychotic drugs use(OR 3.26,CI 1.62-6.56), ≥7 days of hospitalization(OR 1.02,CI 1.00-1.04) were risk factors for inadequate colon cleansing.
A predictive model (see [Table]) was derived in derivation cohort (n=1,016) and validated in validation cohort (n=508), showing good calibration (p=0.317 and p=0.638) and discrimination
(accuracy 80%,CI 77-83%; 78%,CI 74-82%) in both cohorts. An app was developed.
Conclusions Our study is the first to identify setting-, patient- and preparation-related factors influencing colon cleansing among inpatients. We derived and validated a predictive model for clinicians.
