What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. The Overall Cleanliness of the Prep as Measured by the Ottawa Scale

    Bowel cleansing was evaluated with the Ottawa bowel preparation scale by each endoscopist during the endoscopy. Neither the endoscopist nor the endoscopy nurse was aware of the bowel preparation used prior to the colonoscopy. The Ottawa bowel preparation scale is a validated tool and was used in this study to provide a reliable quality assessment of the bowel preparation used for colonoscopy. This validated scale rates each section of the colon, the right, the mid, and the rectosigmoid colon, on a 5-point scale (0-4), as well as a global 3-point rating for overall colonic fluid (0-2). The total score ranges from 0 to 14. An excellent preparation with little fluid would score 0-3, a good preparation 4-6, while scores higher than 7would indicate progressively worsening bowel preparations. A completely unprepared colon would score 11-14, depending on the amount of colonic fluid

    Measured: measured upon completion of the colonoscopy, colonoscopies completed during the course of the study (approximately 4 month period)

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. Patient Satisfaction With the Prep Measured by 5 Point Likert Scale

    The participants completed a survey prior to the colonoscopy that graded their overall satisfaction with the bowel preparation. The subjects rated the survey questions on a 5-point Likert scale where 1 = severely distressing, 2=distressing, 3=bothersome, 4=mild, and 5=none.

    Measured: measured after completion of the bowel preparation and prior to the colonoscopy, completed during the course of the study (approximately 4 month period)

  2. Procedure Time

    Procedure time refers to the total length of time required to complete the colonoscopy

    Measured: measured upon completion of the colonoscopy, colonoscopies completed during the course of the study (approximately 4 month period)

  3. The Number of Polyps Detected on Examination

    The number of colon polyps detected during the colonoscopy.

    Measured: measured upon completion of the colonoscopy, colonoscopies completed during the course of the study (approximately 4 month period)

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 1 Nov 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. Some participants in this study may receive a placebo. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 1 Nov 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

The Overall Cleanliness of the Prep as Measured by the Ottawa Scale (time frame: measured upon completion of the colonoscopy, colonoscopies completed during the course of the study (approximately 4 month period)). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?

On the ClinicalTrials.gov record for NCT00611442, which also lists 5 linked publications.

Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
