NCT ID NCT07263867
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tests whether having resident doctors check on hospitalized patients four times a day (instead of the usual two) can improve bowel preparation quality before a therapeutic colonoscopy. The extra rounds include a checklist to ensure patients follow medication and diet instructions. Researchers will compare bowel cleanliness scores between the two schedules in 300 patients across three hospital wards.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Increased frequency of structured ward rounds with standardized checklist
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to improve colonoscopy preparation in hospitals, reducing cancellations and complications.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage trial (300 patients) testing a behavioral change, not a drug or device. Results may not apply to other hospitals or outpatient settings, and increased rounds could add to staff workload without clear benefit.
