摘要
BACKGROUND Split-dose regimens(SpDs)of 4 L of polyethylene glycol(PEG)have been established as the“gold standard”for bowel preparation;however,its use is limited by the large volumes of fluids required and sleep disturbance associated with night doses.Meanwhile,the same-day single-dose regimens(SSDs)of PEG has been recommended as an alternative;however,its superiority compared to other regimens is a matter of debate.AIM To compare the efficacy and tolerability between SSDs and large-volume SpDs PEG for bowel preparation.METHODS We searched MEDLINE/PubMed,the Cochrane Library,RCA,EMBASE and Science Citation Index Expanded for randomized trials comparing(2 L/4 L)SSDs to large-volume(4 L/3 L)SpDs PEG-based regimens,regardless of adjuvant laxative use.The pooled analysis of relative risk ratio and mean difference was calculated for bowel cleanliness,sleep disturbance,willingness to repeat the procedure using the same preparation and adverse effects.A random effects model or fixed-effects model was chosen based on heterogeneity analysis among studies.RESULTS A total of 18 studies were included.There was no statistically significant difference of adequate bowel preparation(relative risk=0.97;95%CI:0.92-1.02)(14 trials),right colon Boston Bowel Preparation Scale(mean difference=0.00;95%CI:-0.04,0.03)(9 trials)and right colon Ottawa Bowel Preparation Scale(mean difference=0.04;95%CI:-0.27,0.34)(5 trials)between(2 L/4 L)SSDs and large-volume(4 L/3 L)SpDs,regardless of adjuvant laxative use.The pooled analysis favored the use of SSDs with less sleep disturbance(relative risk=0.52;95%CI:0.40,0.68)and lower incidence of abdominal pain(relative risk=0.75;95%CI:0.62,0.90).During subgroup analysis,patients that received low-volume(2 L)SSDs showed more willingness to repeat the procedure using the same preparation than SpDs(P<0.05).No significant difference in adverse effects,including nausea,vomiting and bloating,was found between the two arms(P>0.05).CONCLUSION Regardless of adjuvant laxative use,the(2 L/4 L)SSD PEG-based arm was considered equal or better than the large-volume(≥3 L)SpDs PEG regimen in terms of bowel cleanliness and tolerability.Patients that received low-volume(2 L)SSDs showed more willingness to repeat the procedure using the same preparation due to the low-volume fluid requirement and less sleep disturbance.
