Evidence-based considerations on bowel preparation for colonoscopy

Abstract

We recently read with interest the article, "Novel frontiers of agents for bowel cleansing for colonoscopy". This is a practical narrative review, which could be of particular importance to clinicians in order to improve their current practice. Although we appreciate the venture of our colleagues, based on our in-depth analysis, we came across several minor issues in the article; hence, we present our comments in this letter. If the authors consider these comments further in their relevant research, we believe that their contribution would be of considerable importance for future studies.
