When there is poor bowel preparation, corresponding to a BBPS of ≤ 5 or a simplified BBPS of ≤ 1, it is recommended that the colonoscopy should be repeated. The findings may be documented as running text or as individual points.

2021年10月13日 · The BBPS is applied during the withdrawal phase of colonoscopy. If a procedure is aborted due to inadequate preparation, then any nonvisualized proximal segments are assigned a score of 0. The BBPS has been well validated and shown to have high inter- and intra-observer reliability.

During 633 screening colonoscopies, the mean (SD) BBPS score was 6.0 (1.6). Higher BBPS scores (≥5 versus <5) were associated with a higher polyp detection rate (40% vs 24%; p<0.02). BBPS scores were inversely correlated with colonoscope insertion (r = −0.16; p<0.003) and withdrawal (r = −0.23; p<0.001) times. Limitations. Single-center ...

2019年12月10日 · The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) is a scale used by a physician who is performing your colonoscopy to judge the quality of bowel cleanliness. It replaces subjective terms such as “excellent”, “good” and “fair”.

2024年6月25日 · The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS), a 9-point system, helps them see how clean a patient’s large intestine is during a colonoscopy. This scale divides the large intestine into three parts: right, middle, and left.

2014年8月30日 · When total BBPS scores were 0-2, follow-up within one year was recommend in 96% of cases. Exams with total BBPS scores of 3-5 had variable recommendations. We verified these findings among 167 endoscopists in a survey showing 4 standardized colonoscopy videos with pre-established BBPS scores.

Total BBPS scores were inversely associated with colonoscopic insertion (r = -0.16; P < 0.003) and withdrawal times (r = -0.23; P < 0.001). In addition, a significant trend in mean BBPS score correlating with excellent, good, fair, poor, or unsatisfactory, as separately scored by the raters, was observed (P < 0.001 for trend).
