Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Colonic Transit at 24 HoursDay 13 (Day 12 24 hours post-meal)Colonic transit: Geometric centre at 24 hours (GC24) was estimated using geometric mean of counts in ascending (AC), transverse (TC), descending (DC) and rectosigmoid (RS) colon and stool (weighted by factors of 1 to 5 respectively). To calculate the geometric centre, the proportion of colonic counts in each colonic region was multiplied by its weighing factor: (% AC \*1 + % TC \*2 + % DC \*3 + % RS \*4 + % stool \* 5 ) divided by 100.

Colonic Transit at 24 Hours

Colonic transit: Geometric centre at 24 hours (GC24) was estimated using geometric mean of counts in ascending (AC), transverse (TC), descending (DC) and rectosigmoid (RS) colon and stool (weighted by factors of 1 to 5 respectively). To calculate the geometric centre, the proportion of colonic counts in each colonic region was multiplied by its weighing factor: (% AC \*1 + % TC \*2 + % DC \*3 + % RS \*4 + % stool \* 5 ) divided by 100.

Time frame: Day 13 (Day 12 24 hours post-meal)
