Quality of bowel preparation for colonoscopy in patients on glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists
Abstract
Background and aims We aimed to assess the quality of bowel preparation in a matched cohort of patients actively using and not using glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1 RAs) in a large health system in the United States. Methods We performed a retrospective review of adult patients undergoing colonoscopy in 22 endoscopy units across 18 sites in the United States. Results Our cohort comprised 6235 patients (3344 case patients and 2891 control patients). Baseline variables causing suboptimal bowel preparation were setting of procedure (inpatient), sex (male), body mass index (higher), type 2 diabetes mellitus, inflammatory bowel disease, opioid medications, heart failure, and cirrhosis. Total Boston Bowel Preparation Scale was significantly higher in control patients even after controlling for the mentioned variables (P < .01). Case patients were significantly more likely to meet the definition of inadequate bowel preparation. There was no significant difference between different classes of GLP-1 RAs. Conclusions Patients using GLP-1 RAs are more likely to have inadequate bowel preparation during colonoscopy, even accounting for other comorbidities.

In a 2025 meta-analysis of 23 observational studies consisting of 262,018 patients, a clear liquid diet on the day prior to the procedure significantly reduced the risk of RGV compared with standard fasting (OR, 0.28; 95% CI, 0.22-0.36; P < .001; I2 = 0%).

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
