To evaluate whether oral sulfate solution administered in a short time interval (6-8 hours) between the first and last dose of laxative is not inferior to a long time interval (10-12 hours) in bowel preparation quality.
The split-dose bowel preparation is recommended by multiple guidelines and widely used worldwide for improved bowel preparation quality, higher detection rate of colorectal lesions, and better tolerance. The effect of the time interval between the last dose of laxative and the colonoscopy on the quality of bowel preparation has been well studied, but the impact of the time interval between the first and last dose of laxative on the bowel preparation quality deserve to be explored. Oral sulfate solution administered in a short time interval can reduce sleep disturbance and hunger and is more flexible and convenient. This study aims to evaluate whether oral sulfate solution administered in a short time interval (6-8 hours) is not inferior to a long time interval (10-12 hours) on bowel preparation quality.

OSS contained 17.5 g sodium sulfate, 3.13 g potassium sulfate, 1.6 g magnesium sulfate, and flavoring agents in an aqueous liquid form supplied in a 177 mL bottle. Dilute 177ml sodium, potassium, and magnesium sulfate oral solution to 500ml and intake 12-14 hours before colonoscopy, followed by two doses of 500ml water or clear aqueous liquid within 2 hours; Repeat the procedure 6 hours before the colonoscopy.
