Abstract
Inadequate bowel preparation is a problem frequently encountered by gastroenterologists
who perform colonoscopies on hospitalized patients. A method is needed to increase
the quality of bowel preparation in inpatients. An educational booklet has been shown
to increase the overall quality of bowel preparation for outpatients. We performed
a prospective study to evaluate the effects of an educational booklet on the quality
of bowel preparation in a group of hospitalized patients.
