Hygieacare announce that a study published in JSM Gastroenterology and Hepatology shows HygiPrep(TM) is a Safe and Effective Alternative to Oral Prep

NORFOLK, VIRGINIA, UNITED STATES, March 22, 2021 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Hygieacare Inc. announced that a study has been published in JSM Gastroenterology and Hepatology.

The paper was co-authored by Reed B Hogan , MD James A Underwood, MD , Cynthia Wright, MD, Lisa S Lestina, MD , David G Mangels, MD , and Terry O’Toole DO, MD representing 2 of the Hygieacare centers: Gastrointestinal Associates and Endoscopy Center, Jackson, USA (recently acquired by The GI Alliance, Texas) and Ohio Gastroenterology and Liver Institute, Cincinnati, USA (recently acquired by Gastro Health, FL).

The aim of this study was to retrospectively evaluate the clinical outcomes, safety, adequacy, and patients’ satisfaction of the Hygieacare bowel prep for colonoscopy (HygiPrep(TM) ) prescribed by 35 physicians from two independent endoscopy centers.

3,050 consecutive bowel prep procedures were included in the study analysis. Patients’ demographics and safety data were recorded by the technical staff. The examining physician provided bowel preparation adequacy as recorded in the endoscopy center patient record, and patients’ satisfaction were recorded in post-procedure surveys.

"I am pleased to report that the study showed that HygiPrep™ provided 97% adequacy of prep for colonoscopy with no serious adverse events, excellent patients’ satisfaction and willingness to repeat" said Gavriel Meron, Chairman and CEO of Hygieacare Inc. "These outcomes were maintained regardless of the patients’ age, gender, pre-prep regime, and underlying diseases."

The study showed that the HygiPrep(TM) open system high-volume colon irrigation used under stringent standardized protocols is a favorable strategy for colonoscopy prep. Adopting this technology can lead to increased effectiveness and improved patients’ procedural experience, thus reducing the healthcare system’s costs associated with canceled, failed, and inadequate colonoscopies.
