Özet
Aim: Colonoscopy is a frequently used procedure for the diagnosis of the colorectal diseases. In this study, we aimed to present demographic, endoscopic, and histopathological characteristics, the frequency of incomplete colonoscopy, and causes of incomplete colonoscopy of Turkish and Syrian patients who had undergone colonoscopy in our hospital. Method: The demographic, clinical, and histopathological characteristics of Turkish and Syrian patients who had undergone colonoscopy in our hospital between August 2017 and March 2020 were compared. Results: A total of 2,285 patients were included in the study, of which 1,175 (51.4%) were female, 1,110 (48.6%) were male, and the mean age was 46.30±15.33 years. The rate of incomplete colonoscopy was 18.3%. It was observed that the male gender, incomplete colonoscopy rate, insufficient bowel cleansing rate, and patients with Boston bowel cleansing score of zero and one were higher in the Syrian patient group (p<0.001). The polyp detection rate was 14.6% in the Turkish patient group and 8.8% in the Syrian patient group (p=0.035). Advanced age (p=0.002), ethnicity (p<0.001), and insufficient bowel cleansing (p<0.001) were significant factors for incomplete colonoscopy. Conclusion: In our study, the higher rate of incomplete colonoscopy and insufficient bowel cleansing and the low rate of polyp detection in the Syrian patient group remained below the current literature recommendations. We think that insufficient information about bowel cleansing preparation is responsible for this finding due to the current socio-economic conditions and communication problem (language disability) in our region.
