Study design and patient demographics
| Study design |
|---|
| N = 40 patients identified |
| 57.5% (23/40) female, |
| Mean age—48 (24–78) years |
| CCE data—Bowel preparation and booster medications, findings, capsule completion rate |
| Colonoscopy data—GCS from colonoscopy, endoscopist grade, sedation used, findings, completion, other adjuncts used |
Mean difference between patient reported scores for CCE and Colonoscopy
| CCE | Colonoscopy | 95% CI | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 8.3 | 7.7 | − 1.48 to 0.33 | ||
| Male | 8 | 8 | − 1.06 to 1.06 | |
| Female | 8.4 | 7.4 | − 2.41 to 0.41 | |
| < 50 | 7.8 | 7.9 | − 0.83 to 1.07 | |
| > 50 | 9 | 7.3 | − 3.56 to 0.1 | |
| 9.2 | 6.7 | − 3.51 to − 1.44 | ||
| Male | 9.2 | 6.9 | − 3.75 to − 0.84 | |
| Female | 9.2 | 6.6 | − 4.16 to − 1.06 | |
| < 50 | 9.4 | 6.5 | − 4.21 to − 1.55 | |
| > 50 | 8.9 | 7.1 | − 3.62 to 0.02 |
| Patient Questionnaire |
|---|
| How satisfied were you with your CCE? |
| How satisfied were you with your colonoscopy? |
| In terms of pain, how comfortable was your CCE? |
| In terms of pain, how comfortable was your colonoscopy? |
| If you required further bowel testing in the future, would you rather a CCE or Colonoscopy? |
| Would your answer change if there was a likelihood/chance that you would require a colonoscopy following CCE (i.e. have both tests)? |
| Any particular reasons for your dissatisfaction with CCE and/or colonoscopy? |
| Score | Scale | Description |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | No | No discomfort, talking/resting comfortably throughout |
| 2 | Minimal | One or two episodes of mild discomfort (without distress) |
| 3 | Mild | More than two episodes of mild discomfort (without distress) |
| 4 | Moderate | Significant discomfort experienced several times with some distress |
| 5 | Severe | Extreme discomfort frequently during the test |
| Procedure | Bowel preparation | |
|---|---|---|
| CCE | 1 week before test | Stop all iron tablets |
| Day − 2 (Day minus two, 2 days prior to study) | 4 × 7.5 mg Senna tablets at 7 pm | |
