Adequate bowel preparation is one of the most important quality measures in colonoscopy. Previous studies identified several factors associated with inadequate bowel preparation (IBP). No study has attempted to assign a different regimen to patients based on the presence of risk factors for inadequate bowel preparation. The aim of the study is to check if a personalized bowel preparation regimen based on risk factors for IBP, will lead to an overall improvement in bowel preparation during colonoscopy.
