Some patients felt no pain or only mild discomfort with the unsedated colonoscopy. However, unsedated colonoscopy was thought to be an option for some but not for all. If we could able to identify which patients at high risk for painful colonoscopy in preoperational stage, targeted administration of sedatives or special techniques to these patients would be an attractive option.
Here we prospectively collected the data during colonoscopy and investigated the possible risk factors associated with painful colonoscopy by using a step-wise multivariate regression model. Furthermore we developed a novel point score to predict whether the patients at high risk for painful colonoscopy and targeted offer an appropriate method of colonoscopy or with the aid of special techniques to help the completion of procedure.
