The Impact of GLP Medication on Colonoscopy Bowel Preparation Quality

Description

The goal of this clinical trial is to learn how GLP-1 and GIP agonists effect bowel preparation in patients scheduled for colonoscopies. The main questions it aims to answer are: * Does GLP-1 and GIP agonist increase the rate of inadequate bowel preparation? * Does the quality of bowel preparation differ in patients who hold vs. those who continue a single dose of their GLP-1 or GIP agonist medication? * Are there any differences in the rates of complications gastric aspiration in patients who hold vs. continue a single dose of their GLP-1 or GIP agonist medication?

  • * Patient scheduled for outpatient screening, surveillance, or diagnostic colonoscopy
  • * Using a GLP-1 or GIP agonist at a stable dose for at least one month
  • * Unable to provide informed consent, e.g., dementia
  • * Patient refuses the USMSTF recommended bowel cleansing regimen for patients with diabetes or obesity (split-dose 4 liters polyethylene glycol + 15 mg bisacodyl the afternoon before; low residue diet 3 days before colonoscopy; clear liquid diet the day before colonoscopy)
  • * Risk factors for inadequate bowel preparation besides diabetes and obesity with a likelihood ratio of 1.6 or greater:

  • 2. Parkinson's disease
  • 3. Dementia
  • 4. Tricyclic antidepressant use
  • 5. Opioid use
  • 6. Gastroparesis\* or suspected gastric outlet obstruction on pre-procedure imaging (\*defined based on a documented 4-hour solid phase gastric emptying study or prior history of retained gastric contents during upper endoscopy)
  • 7. Previous colorectal surgery
  • 8. Prior history of inadequate bowel preparation
