Abstract
GLP-1 RA users showed a 6% higher rate of inadequate bowel preparation compared to controls.
- In a review of six trials, involving 8778 GLP-1 RA users and 8290 controls, bowel preparation quality was assessed.
- Total bowel preparation scores were lower among GLP-1 RA users, indicating poorer preparation.
- Two of the studies noted an increased detection rate of adenomas or polyps in GLP-1 RA users, while one study reported no difference.
- The findings suggest a potential association between GLP-1 RA use and inadequate bowel preparation for colonoscopy.
