Background The diagnosis of intestinal TB (ITB) is challenging because of its overlapping features with Crohn’s disease. This outcome-based study evaluated the combination of colonoscopy, histopathology, Xpert MTB/RIF and TB culture for best sensitivity and specificity.
Introduction: Bowel preparation has led to serious adverse events. Consequently, regulatory and advisory bodies have issued guidance, including a risk stratification of patients, aiming to minimise this risk.
Aims: To determine the impact of the new guidance on our current practice of Picolax used in colonoscopy with regard to patient stratification, compliance and service implementation.
