Abstract
The current standard preparation method produces poor cleanliness outcomes of magnetically controlled capsule. Inspired by the efficacy of a split-dose preparation in colonoscopy, the aim of this study was to examine the efficacy of a split-dose preparation for stomach cleanliness. Patients who received magnetic control capsule gastroscopy (enrolled August 2020 to December 2021) were divided into split-dose preparation group and singular-preparation group, Preparation outcomes, Gastric fluid turbidity and mucus/foam volume in the stomach were compared between the groups. A greater mean intragastric cleanliness score was obtained for the split-dose group (8.45 ± 1.76) and the singular-dose group (7.0 ± 1.0; P = 0.01). Outcomes were obtained in 14.3% and 7.1% (Excellent P > 0.05), 57.1% and 24.2% (Good,P < 0.05), 28.6% and 68.5% (Poor,P < 0.05), respectively. Split-dose preparation can improve stomach cleanliness.
