According to the Aronchick Bowel Preparation Scale, this study divided the degree of bowel cleansing into four levels, namely, "Excellent", "Good", "Fair" and "Poor". Investigators also need to collect the results of bowel preparation to calculate of the adequate bowel cleansing rate was defined further as the percentage of the participants with "Excellent" or "Good" cleansing in our analysis.
