Abstract
The US Multi-Society Task Force on Colorectal Cancer updated the 2014 consensus recommendations on colonoscopy preparation in 2025. For patients at low risk of inadequate preparation, key updates include simplifying dietary restrictions and using 2-L over 4-L regimens for improved tolerability while maintaining efficacy. Split-dose administration of bowel preparation is universally recommended. The guidelines emphasize same-day dosing as acceptable only for afternoon procedures, recommend oral simethicone as an adjunct for improved visualization, and establish preparation adequacy tracking as a quality metric.
期刊介绍:
The mission of Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine (CCJM) is to provide its readers with up-to-date, practical, clinical information relevant to internal medicine, cardiology, and related fields. Consistent with this mission, CCJM focuses on timely review articles and other content that has a continuing-education orientation rather than on original research or case reports. CCJM authors, drawn from Cleveland Clinic and other top medical institutions throughout the world, are asked to identify new findings that are changing the practice of medicine and to advise readers how to apply them in daily patient care. Authors are chosen for their experience, acquired through caring for patients, teaching other physicians, and researching clinical questions.
