Abstract

Background: Colorectal cancer is the leading cause of death in cancer in worldwide and accounted for 608 000 deaths in 2008. While in Malaysia, colorectal cancer has overtaken lung cancer as the second most common cancer. Objective: To compare the timing of bowel preparation and its effects and efficacy on the quality of colonoscopy among patients that underwent conventional bowel preparation (2prnl 8pm) and the other group of patients who underwent proposed bowel preparation (6prnl6am). Methods: An observational cross-sectional hospital-based study was conducted by assessing primary data for June and July 2013 at the Endoscopy Suite, Hospital Serdang. Data were retrieved from medical records; socio-demographic data i.e. age, gender and ethnicity, were obtained. All data were recorded in standardized proforma. Results: There were a total of 110 patients for both conventional and proposed group recorded. Sixty -three (57.3%) patients were under 60 years old. Sixty-one (55.5%) were male, and 48 (44%) were Malays. For the patients underwent colonoscopy, majority of them (78.2%) had good bowel preparation and 96 (87.3%) of them with high efficacy of bowel preparation. The timing of bowel preparation was significantly associated with the efficacy of the bowel preparation and the quality of the colonoscopy (p <0.05). Conclusion: The proposed bowel preparation regimen (6pm a day before and 6am on the same day of colonoscopy) is strongly recommended to enhance the efficacy of bowel preparation and the quality of colonoscopy. Keywords: Efficacy, Bowel Preparation, CoIonoscopy, Different Time
