Abstract
Among 6235 patients, those using glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) had significantly poorer bowel preparation quality during colonoscopy.
- Patients on GLP-1 RAs were significantly more likely to have inadequate bowel preparation compared to those not using these medications.
- Higher total Boston Bowel Preparation Scale scores were observed in control patients, indicating better preparation quality.
- Factors associated with suboptimal bowel preparation included being an inpatient, male sex, higher body mass index, type 2 diabetes, inflammatory bowel disease, opioid use, heart failure, and cirrhosis.
- No significant differences were found between different classes of GLP-1 RAs regarding bowel preparation quality.
