Abstract
Patients' description of last rectal effluent is not a reliable predictor of quality of preparation per the endoscopist, but patients reporting their last effluent as brown liquid or solid have a substantial likelihood of inadequate preparation. These patients may benefit from additional preparation, which may be particularly useful if it can be administered in the endoscopy unit followed by colonoscopy on the same day.
