Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Adequate bowel cleansing for colonoscopy

The efficacy of bowel preparation will be rated by blinded endoscopists using the Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS). Adequate bowel cleansing will be defined as a BBPS of 2 or more points in every segment of the colon and inadequate bowel cleansing will be defined by at least one of the colon segments with less than 2 points.
