Total Volume of Purgatives That Ingested1 dayThe total volume of PEG-ELS (Liter) that ingested or could be ingested by examinee before colonoscopy
Segmental Cleansing Level at Colonoscopy (Right Segment Preparation Failure)1 daySegmental score of Ottawa bowel preparation scale was analyzed. The proportion of right segment preparation failure, defined as segmental score as 3 poor or 4 inadequate, was presented.
Overall Cleansing Level at Colonoscopy by Aronchick Scale1 dayThe overall proportion of participants scored as Excellent or Good by Aronchick scale. Description of Aronchick scale:It categorized colon cleansing into 5 level: Excellent, good, fair, poor, inadequate. It is categorical and cannot be summed. We will present
Overall Cleansing Level at Colonoscopy by Ottawa Bowel Preparation Scale1 dayOttawa preparation scale: Colon is defined into 3 segments: Right(cecum, ascending), mid(transverse, descending), rectosigmoid. Each is scored from 0 to 4, 0 is best and 4 is worst. Fluid quantity of whole is scored as 0, small; 1, moderate; 2 large amount. The scale will be summation of the clearness of 3 segments of colon and overall fluid quantity. It ranged from 0 to 14, 0 is the most clean colon and 14 is the most dirty one. Segment score will be analyzed separately as continuous variable.
