A Comparative Clinical Study of a Novel Pre-colonoscopy Bowel Capsule Preparation Against Two Commercially Available Liquid Preparations.

ABSTRACT: Background and Aims: Colonoscopy surveillance depends on effective bowel preparation. Inadequate bowel preparation can lead to inaccurate clinical diagnosis, insufficient visualization of the colon and increased risk of missed diagnosis. This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of a novel Capsule Bowel Preparation (RitePrep), high-volume (2L) polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution (MoviPrep®) and low-volume (1L) polyethylene glycol electrolyte solution (Plenvu™). Methods: Patients (n = 120) were divided into three groups and were administered either RitePrep, MoviPrep® or Plenvu™ as a pre-colonoscopy bowel preparation followed by a colonoscopy at a single center. Validated Boston Bowel Preparation Score (BBPS) and bubble score were used to evaluate bowel c
