Abstract:
OBJECTIVE:The actual degree of pain or discomfort experienced during colonoscopy varies between patients. This prospective study was conducted to determine what variables, apart from the endoscopist's skill, are associated with a patient's discomfort during this procedure.
DESIGN/METHODS:From December 2003 to September 2004, 646 colonoscopy examinations performed by three experienced endoscopists were analysed. Midazolam and meperidine were administered intravenously 10 min before the procedure. The degree of patient discomfort was assessed by asking more than five times during the procedure and by using a visual analogue pain scale (0-10) examined up to 7 days after the procedure. Patients were divided into sub-groups as follows: (1) comfortable group (n=304), no complaint during the procedure; and (2) uncomfortable group (n=342), more than one complaint during the procedure.
RESULTS:The correlation between the degree of patient discomfort and the results of the visual analogue pain scale was statistically significant (r2=0.118, P<0.01). Chi-squared analyses demonstrated that female gender, younger age (
