High-Volume Split-Dose Versus Low-Volume Split-Dose Polyethylene Glycol Preparations: Which Is a Better Choice?

We read with great interest the article written by Barkun et  al.1 This large national randomized clinical trial emphasized high-volume split-dose polyethylene glycol (PEG) (2 L + 2 L) provides statistically greater yet clinically comparable results for adequate bowel preparation compared with low-volume split-dose PEG (1 L + 1 L). This result, which is co nsistent with our conventional notion, will help us better explain the choice of colonoscopy preparation to our patients, individualizing them to patients’ preferences.
