Description

Ivana Jukić and eight co-authors hunt for what predicts a poorly cleaned bowel in diabetic patients facing colonoscopy. A clean bowel is the price of a useful exam, and diabetes makes that cleaning fail more often. Their 2026 study covers one hundred ninety-four adults with diabetes who had full colonoscopies at a Split university hospital between 2019 and 2025, all prepared the standard way. Clinical factors were tested against a rating of inadequate preparation.

Failed prep wastes the procedure and can hide cancers. Knowing the risk factors lets clinics give high-risk patients stronger regimens up front. The authors work from one center's records, looking both back and forward in time. Their findings serve endoscopy units scheduling diabetic patients daily. The question is practical triage: who needs more than the standard jug?
