Adding Stewed Apricot Juice to Senna Improves the Right-Side and Overall Colon Cleansing Quality for Colonoscopy Preparation

The quality of colon cleansing was evaluated by using the validated Ottawa Bowel Preparation Quality Scale (Table 1). The score was calculated by adding the 0 to 4 ratings for recto-sigmoid, transverse and right colon separately and the 0 to 2 fluid quantity rating. 0, 1 and 2 scores were accepted for adequate preparation while 3 and 4 not, for each colonic segment.
Table 1 Ottawa Bowel Preparation Quality Scale Score Description 0 No fluid
Able to see mucosa without aspiration
Able to see mucosa after aspiration
Able to see mucosa after both washing and aspiration
Solid stool, incapable of aspiration

0, 1 and 2 scores were accepted for adequate preparation while 3 and 4 not, for right colonic segment.
Upon arrival at the endoscopy unit,the participants were asked to complete a nurse-administered questionnaire to assess their tolerability and adverse events during preparation. This questionnaire included of 18 questions and was used in similar previous studies specified in references section.
Participant acceptability was assessed as difficulty of finishing ingestion of the regimens.
Participant compliance was defined as success in consuming the total amount of the regimens.
Participants were also asked for willingness to receive the same regimen in the future.
Participants were assessed for safety based on frequency and severity of adverse events nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, abdominal bloating, weakness,sleep disturbance and anal irritation symptoms rated for absent, mild, moderate and severe.
