Summary
Adequate bowel cleansing is a critical component in the care of hospitalized patients
undergoing colonoscopy. However, inpatient status is a well-established risk factor for
inadequate bowel preparation. However, few strategies have been rigorously shown to reduce
the risk of inadequate bowel preparation. Moreover, inadequate bowel preparation is
frequently related to the poor tolerability of high volumes of bowel preparation in the
medically complex and comorbid hospitalized population. Low volume bowel preparations have
been developed that have been shown to be noninferior compared to high volume bowel
preparation with regards to adequacy of bowel preparation but with improved tolerability.
However, the use of low volume bowel preparations for colonoscopies have largely been
evaluated in the outpatient setting. In this study, we plan to compare rates of adequate
bowel preparation and tolerability of a low volume bowel preparation, MoviPrep, compared to
standard high volume bowel preparation, GoLYTELY, in hospitalized patients undergoing
colonoscopy. This study promises to highlight low volume bowel preparation as a viable and
better tolerated alternative to high volume bowel preparation in hospitalized patients which
may ultimately decrease delays in inpatient endoscopy as well as hospital length of stay.
