Our goal was to evaluate the palatability of the currently available oral contrast agents for CT.
We surveyed 202 adults (92 women and 110 men) with a mean age of 59 years. Each participant sampled five or eight products. The participants ingested 1 oz. of each product and recorded an overall score, taking into account the factors of palatability that were important to them. Scores were marked on a visual analog rating scale with 0 representing "dislike a lot" and 10 representing "like a lot."
The following mean palatability scores were obtained: Gastrografin mixed with Tropical Punch Kool-Aid 8.2; Scan C 5.7; Cheetah 4.7; Readi-Cat 4.4; E-Z-Cat 4.0; Tomo-Cat 3.6, Prep-Cat 3.5; Baro-Cat 3.2; Lipomul mixed with water 3.1.
Statistical cluster analysis suggested the following groupings of the products (i.e., products with statistically similar scores grouped together): Cluster 1-Kool-Aid with Gastrografin; Cluster 2-Scan C, Cheetah, Readi-Cat: Cluster 3-E-Z-Cat, Tomo-Cat, Prep-Cat, Baro-Cat, Lipomul.
我们的目标是评估目前可用的CT口服对比剂的适口性。
我们调查了202名成年人(92名女性和110名男性),平均年龄为59岁。每位参与者品尝了五种或八种产品。参与者摄入每种产品1盎司,并记录总体评分,同时考虑对他们来说重要的适口性因素。评分采用视觉模拟评分量表,0表示“非常不喜欢”,10表示“非常喜欢”。
获得以下平均适口性评分:与热带水果味酷爱饮料混合的泛影葡胺8.2;Scan C 5.7;猎豹4.7;Readi-Cat 4.4;E-Z-Cat 4.0;Tomo-Cat 3.6;Prep-Cat 3.5;Baro-Cat 3.2;与水混合的Lipomul 3.1。
统计聚类分析表明产品有以下分组(即评分在统计学上相似的产品归为一组):第1组-与泛影葡胺混合的酷爱饮料;第2组-Scan C、猎豹、Readi-Cat;第3组-E-Z-Cat、Tomo-Cat、Prep-Cat、Baro-Cat、Lipomul。
