A simplified preparation involving clear liquids and 1.5 L of water is non-inferior to standard 2 L PEG-based regimens for small bowel capsule endoscopy (SBCE) in Crohn’s disease.
Intestinal cleanliness, diagnostic yield, and capsule completion rates were comparable between the simplified and PEG-based groups.
Patient acceptability and procedural comfort were significantly higher in the simplified preparation group.
The KODA score demonstrated high diagnostic accuracy (80%) for discriminating intestinal cleanliness levels.
