Primary outcomes (2)
- measure
- Evaluation of intestinal preparation. BBPS score (BOSTON BOWEL PREPARATION SCORE)
- timeFrame
- at the end of colonoscopy up to 12 months
- description
- Compare the quality of the colonoscopy between patients who received tele-consultation (INTERVENTION Group) and those who did not receive tele-consultation (CONTROL Group) based on the BBPS score (BOSTON BOWEL PREPARATION SCORE). The BBPS score ranges from 0 to 9 based on intestinal preaparation in cecum, colon and rectum. Each section is scored on a scale of 0 to 3 (0= unprepared to 3= excellent). The total BBPS score is the sum of the scores from the three sections (score 0 to 5=Poor preparation; score 6 to 7= fair preparation; score 8 to 9=good preparation). A higher score indicates better bowel preparation, which is ideal for a successful colonoscopy.
