colonoscopy has been widely utilized in the diagnosis and treatment of intestinal diseases&#46; The accuracy of diagnosis and the safety of treatment in colonoscopy depends largely on the quality of bowel cleansing&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0001"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">1</span></a> Inadequate bowel preparation may prolong the operating time&#44; increase risks of endoscopy and shorten the interval of follow-up&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0002"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Additionally&#44; insufficient intestinal preparation may lower intestinal adenoma detection rate due to a significantly higher rate of missed diagnosis&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0003"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">3</span></a> It is reported that twenty to twenty-five percent of colonoscopy bowel preparation cases were far from satisfactory&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0002"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">2</span></a> Polyethylene Glycol &#40;PEG&#41; is the most commonly used intestinal cleanser in bowel preparation&#44; however&#44; some studies showed that PEG might induce symptoms of intolerance&#44; such as nausea&#44; bloating&#44; palpitations and dizziness&#46; In addition&#44; the cleansing effect turned out to be unstable and might vary between individuals&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0004"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">4</span></a> To address this problem&#44; several studies have evaluated various combinations of two agents to improve compliance and reduce adverse events&#44; including the addition of laxatives to the PEG solution or a combination of two types of laxatives&#44; such as lactulose and magnesium sulfate&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0005"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">5</span></a></p><p id="para0015" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Lactulose oral solution passes unabsorbed down to the colon&#44; where lactulose shows the osmotic activity as a disaccharide&#46; It retains water and electrolytes in the intestinal cavity and produces a hyperosmotic effect&#44; resulting in the excretion of intestinal ammonia and other toxins&#46; It is not only quite palatable with few adverse effects but conducive to relieving constipation symptoms&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#bib0006"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">6</span></a> Recently&#44; some studies have adopted lactulose as an intestinal cleanser&#44; which exhibited a positive effect&#46;<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRefs" href="#bib0007"><span class="elsevierStyleSup">7-9</span></a></p><p id="para0016" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">However&#44; it is still unknown whether PEG combined with lactulose serves as a better solution for bowel preparation than PEG alone since previous studies showed conflicting results&#46; The aim of this meta-analysis was to systematically evaluate the efficacy&#44; as well as adverse reactions&#44; of PEG combined with lactulose compared with PEG alone for bowel preparation before colonoscopy in adults to provide a new methodology for clinical practice&#46;</p></span><span id="sec0002" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cesectitle0011">Materials and methods</span><span id="sec0003" class="elsevierStyleSection elsevierViewall"><span class="elsevierStyleSectionTitle" id="cesectitle0012">Inclusion and exclusion criteria</span><p id="para0017" class="elsevierStylePara elsevierViewall">Eligible studies included in this meta&#8208;analysis should meet all the following criteria&#58;

Lactulose is a palatable laxative that can stimulate the peristalsis of the colon and restore the normal physiological rhythm&#46; It causes few adverse reactions and boasts a positive effect on the relief of constipation symptoms&#46;
