Abstract:Objective To study the predictors of cecal intubation rate in colonoscopy.Methods A retrospective analysis of the clinical data of 87 patients underwent colonoscopy from January 2019 to January 2020. Analyze the rate of cecal intubation, and count the patient’s age, gender, body mass (BMI) index, colonoscopy history, bowel preparation quality, anxiety (SAS) score, bowel cleansing drugs, bowel habits, chronic diseases, and surgical history, Pain Visual Analog Scale (VAS) and other general data, Multivariate Logistic regression analysis was used to analyze independent risk factors that affect the rate of cecal intubation during colonoscopy.Results Among 87 patients underwent colonoscopy, 14 (16.09%) failed blind endoscopic intubation and were included in the failure group; the remaining 73 cases (83.91%) were successful in the endoscopy and were included in the successful group. There was no significant difference in the proportions of gender, colonoscopy history, bowel cleansing drugs, chronic diseases, and surgical history between the two groups (P > 0.05); the proportion of the failure group was older, poorer bowel preparation, constipation, and low BMI and SAS score and VAS score were significantly higher than the success group (P < 0.05). Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (O = 3.122, 95%CI: 1.036~9.215), poor quality of bowel preparation (O = 4.362, 95%CI: 1.789~10.968), constipation (O = 3.165, 95%CI: 1.086~9.365), low BMI (O = 2.795, 95%CI: 1.236~4.548), high SAS score (O = 1.965, 95%CI: 1.197~8.635), high VAS score (O = 3.426, 95%CI: 1.196~6.985) was an independent risk factor affecting the rate of cecal intubation during colonoscopy (P < 0.05).Conclusion Old age, constipation, poor quality of bowel preparation, high SAS score, low BMI, and high VAS score are closely related to the rate of cecal intubation during colonoscopy, and have certain predictive value.
