Excerpt

The increased incidence of colorectal cancer (CRC) over the last decades has driven the widespread launch of population-based screening programs worldwide, for which colonoscopy has become the primary diagnostic tool. Optimal bowel preparation is a pre-requisite for accurate and safe colonoscopy, as it enables adequate mucosal visualization, increasing the diagnostic yield for colonic lesions, supported by the observation that polyp and adenoma detection rates are directly proportional to the quality of bowel preparation. Improved colonic cleansing is associated with a fivefold increase in cecal intubation rates as well as a twofold increase in adenoma detection [1]. …

WHO estimates that half of all patients worldwide are non-adherent to their prescribed medication. The consequences of poor adherence can be catastrophic, on both the individual and population level.

Join our expert panel to discover why you need to understand the drivers of non-adherence in your patients, and how you can optimize medication adherence in your clinics to drastically improve patient outcomes.
