چکیده
Methods Patients aged 80 years or over referred for colonoscopy from January 2010 to December 2012, were identified and retrospectively reviewed. Follow-up examinations, for previous colonic resection or polypectomy, assessment of IBD, and urgent colonoscopy for acute hemorrhage, were excluded for evaluation. The patients were prepared for colonoscopy by ingesting 4 L of polyethylene glycol (PEG) a day before the procedure. The use and dosage of sedative drugs and/or antispasmodic agents administered was at the discretion of the endoscopist. The primary aims were the complete examination, the main diagnosis and complication. A complete examination was defined as visualization of the ileocecal valve and/or ileal intubation.
