Table 1 Features of meta-analyses that compared polyethylene glycol to sodium phosphate

Ref.	Period of inclusion	Comparisons	Trials, n¹	Patients, n¹	Results
Hsu and Imperiale[14]	1980-1996	PEG vs NaP	8/8	1286/1286	NaP better than PEG:
					Better at cleansing
					Better at compliance
					Lower cost
					Safety: NaP = PEG
Tan et al[15]	1990-2005	PEG/NaP/sodium picosulfate	29/18	6459/3484	NaP better than PEG:
					Better at cleansing
					Better at compliance
					Safety: NaP = PEG
Belsey et al[16]	Until January 2006	PEG/NaP/Others	82/25	-/3748	Cleansing: PEG = NaP
					NaP better for tolerance
					Safety: PEG = NaP
Juluri et al[17]	1990-2008	PEG vs NaP	18/18	2792/2792	NaP better than PEG:
					Better at cleansing
					Better at compliance
					Safety: NaP = PEG
Juluri et al[18]	1990-2008	PEG vs NaP	71/71	10201/10201	Not statistically different
Juluri et al[18]	1990-2008	PEG vs NaP	71/71	10201/10201	NaP more likely to comply better
Belsey et al[19]	Until June 2010	PEG/NaP/others	104/31	-/4450	PEG = NaP
					PEG better than NaP in proximal colon
					No information about compliance

¹total/PEG vs NaP. PEG: Polyethylene glycol; NaP: Sodium phosphate.
