Overview
High-quality colonoscopy is considered the gold standard for the detection and prevention of colorectal cancer, and its efficacy is predicated on optimal colon cleansing.However, about 18%-35% of patients were still reported to suffer inadequate bowel preparation. Although several predictive models exist, the current guideline indicates that there is insufficient evidence to recommend the use of a predictive model for clinical practice.
