Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Bowel Prep Efficacy - Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS)

To assess the bowel prep efficacy in cleansing the colon for colonoscopy - Scale used is the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS), Integer Scale from 0-3, where 3 indicated the best outcome and 0 the worst. The BBPS was estimated during the procedure (Colonoscopy) by an endoscopist and a nurse and retrospectively by a second endoscopist postoperatively. Scores were averaged by for each subject by location (Right colon, Transverse colon, and Left colon) and then for each group/arm by location.

Time frame: Outcome BBPS was measured during surgery for endoscopist #1 and nurse raters and post-operatively (at any time before the end of the study) by endoscopist #2

Secondary Outcomes

Renal Function Pre and Post Bowel Prep (mg/dL)

Changes in electrolytes pre and post bowel preparation administration. Pre bowel prep measures were taken at study randomization (up to one week before surgery) and post bowel prep measures were taken prior to the procedure (less than 5 hours before start of procedure on day of procedure). Change is electrolytes are presented as pre bowel prep value minus post bowel prep value but prior to procedure (Pre-Post). Units = Milligrams/deciLiter (mg/dL)

Time frame: Pre bowel prep measures were taken at study randomization (up to one week before surgery) and post bowel prep measures were taken prior to the procedure (less than 5 hours before start of procedure on day of procedure).

Renal Function Pre and Post Bowel Prep - Continued (mmol/L)

Changes in electrolytes pre and post bowel preparation administration. Pre bowel prep measures were taken at study randomization (up to one week before surgery) and post bowel prep measures were taken prior to the procedure (less than 5 hours before start of procedure on day of procedure). Change is electrolytes are presented as pre bowel prep value minus post bowel prep value, but prior to procedure (Pre-Post). Units=Millimoles per Liter (mmol/L)
