EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF SODIUM PICOSULFATE-MAGNESIUM CITRATE IN BOWEL PREPARATION FOR ELDERLY IN KOREAN POPULATION: A PILOT STUDY

Aims Bowel preparation is one of the most important colonoscopy quality indicators. Sodium picosulfate-magnesium citrate (SP-MC) is getting more attention for its better tolerance and patient satisfaction compared to PEG-based solutions. However, its efficacy and safety in elderly patients has not been verified enough in Korean population. We compared the efficacy and safety of SP-MC compared to polyethyleneglycol (PEG) based bowel preparations in the elderly.
