Here are three things to know: 

1. Researchers searched several databases for data on bowel prep in GLP-1 and non-GLP-1 users. 

2. After reviewing 10,833 subjects, the inadequate prep rate was higher in the GLP-1s group compared to the control group

3. Of the patients, 5,434 were GLP-1 users and 5,399 were in the control group. 

At the Becker’s 32nd Annual Meeting: The Business and Operations of ASCs, taking place October 29-31 in Chicago, ASC leaders, surgeons and healthcare executives will explore strategies to drive growth, enhance operational performance, navigate reimbursement challenges and prepare for the future of ambulatory surgery.
