Abstract
Objective: The objective of this scoping review is to examine the extent and type of research related to the rate of adequate bowel preparation in adult inpatients undergoing colonoscopy. Our intent is to establish an understanding the factors, both modifiable and non-modifiable, that influence the rate of adequate bowel preparation hospitalized patients undergoing colonoscopy. Introduction: Adequate bowel cleansing is necessary to perform successful colonoscopies, detect adenomas, and identify sources of gastrointestinal bleeding. Inpatients, however, experience a higher-than-average rate of inadequate bowel preparation leading to cancelled procedures, increased stress for the patient, increased time in hospital, and increased cost to the healthcare system. Inclusion criteria: This scoping review will consider all studies examining factors that influence the adequacy of bowel preparation in adult inpatients 18 years and older undergoing colonoscopy who have been admitted to hospital as inpatients. Studies published in English between 2000 and 2023 will be included. Methods: An initial search of MEDLINE, CINAHL, SCOPUS, and EMBASE was undertaken to identify seed articles, followed by a systematic search using keywords and subject headings. Study abstracts will be independently screened by two reviewers against inclusion criteria. Discrepancies will be resolved by consensus. Data extraction will be performed in tabular form and include data related to modifiable and non-modifiable factors that influence bowel preparation in adult inpatients.
