AIMS: There is little published literature evaluating the accuracy of patients' perceptions of the quality of their own bowel preparation for colonoscopy. The aim of this article was to compare patients' perceptions of the adequacy of their bowel preparation with the endoscopists' rating at colonoscopy.METHODS: Outpatients undergoing elective colonoscopy completed surveys assessing bowel preparation. Patient responses regarding quality of bowel preparation were compared with endoscopists' assessment of colonic preparation. A residual stool score was also calculated for each subject based on the amount of stool, consistency of residual stool, and percentage of bowel visualized.RESULTS: A total of 474 patients were enrolled. Patients' perceptions of the quality of their bowel preparation were inaccurate when compared to the endoscopists' rating (sensitivity, 75%; specificity, 34%; accuracy, 50%). Overall correlation with endoscopists' rating was low, r = 0.08. Young patient age (
