Colonoscopy can prevent CRC by the detection and removal of precancerous lesions. In addition to CRC screening and surveillance, colonoscopy is used widely for the diagnostic evaluation of symptoms and other positive CRC screening tests. Regardless of indication, the success of colonoscopy is linked closely to the adequacy of preprocedure bowel cleansing.  \nUnfortunately, up to 20–25% of all colonoscopies are reported to have an inadequate bowel preparation (2,3) . The reasons for this range from patient-related variables such as compliance with preparation instructions and a variety of medical conditions that make bowel cleansing more difficult to unit-specific factors (eg, extended wait times after scheduling of colonoscopy) (4) . Adverse consequences of ineffective bowel preparation include lower adenoma detection rates, longer procedural time, lower cecal intubation rates, increased electrocautery risk, and shorter intervals between examinations (3,5–7) .  \nBowel preparation formulations intended for precolonoscopy cleansing are assessed based on their efficacy, safety, and tolerability. Lack of specific organ toxicity is considered to be a prerequisite for bowel preparations. Between cleansing efficacy and tolerability, however, the consequences of inadequate cleansing suggest that efficacy should be a higher priority than tolerability. Consequently, the choice of a bowel cleansing regimen should be based on cleansing efficacy first and patient tolerability second. However, efficacy and tolerability are closely interrelated. For example, a cleansing agent that is poorly tolerated and thus not fully ingested may not achieve an adequate cleansing. The goals of this consensus document are to provide expert, evidence-based recommendations for clinicians to optimize colonoscopy preparation quality and patient safety. Recommendations are provided using the Grades of Recommendation Assessment, Development and Evaluation (GRADE) scoring system, which weighs the strength of the recommendation and the quality of the evidence (8) .  \nEffect of Inadequate Preparation on Polyp/Adenoma Detection and Recommended Follow-up Intervals  \nRecommendations  \n1. Preliminary assessment of preparation quality should be made in the rectosigmoid colon, and if the indication is screening or surveillance and the preparation clearly is inadequate to allow polyp detection greater than 5 mm, the procedure should be either terminated and rescheduled or an attempt should be made at additional bowel cleansing strategies that can be delivered without cancelling the procedure that day (Strong","cbCaigtcuMymIIU7","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaigtcuMymIIU7","pdf",116246,"English","# Abstract\n# Effect of Inadequate Preparation on Polyp/Adenoma Detection and Recommended Follow-up Intervals\n## Recommendations\n# Dosing and Timing of Colon Cleansing Regimens\n## Recommendations\n# Diet During Bowel Cleansing\n## Recommendation\n# Usefulness of Patient Education and Navigators for Optimizing Preparation Results\n## Recommendations","[{\"question\":\"Why is adequate bowel cleansing important for colonoscopy?\",\"answer\":\"Adequate bowel cleansing improves colonoscopy success, because ineffective preparation is linked to lower adenoma detection, longer procedures, lower cecal intubation rates, increased electrocautery risk, and shorter intervals between examinations.\"},{\"question\":\"What should be done if rectosigmoid preparation is clearly inadequate for screening or surveillance?\",\"answer\":\"Preliminary assessment should be made in the rectosigmoid colon.
