Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Constipation is a common high risk factor for inadequate bowel preparation. The bowel cleansing efficacy of the standard split-does of 4L seems to be suboptimal in constipated patients. The investigator hypothesized that compared with the standard preparation regime, the split-dose with three times of 4L PEG may be superior in BP quality.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Split group

Split-dose of 4l PEG was used before and on the day of colonoscopy

Group Type ACTIVE_COMPARATOR

Split dose of 4L PEG

Intervention Type DRUG

All patients were given oral instruction for bowel preparation on the day of appointment and re-instruction through phone call on two days before scheduled colonoscopy. They were instructed to have a regular lunch and take only clear liquid or low-residual food for the dinner on the day before colonoscopy. The participants began to drink the first 2 L of PEG at 7:00-9 PM on the day before colonoscopy at a rate of 250 mL every 15 minutes. On the day of the procedure, patients took the remaining 2 L 4-6 hours before colonoscopy.

Three times group

Three times-dose of 4l PEG was used before and on the day of colonoscop of 4l PEG was used before and on the day of colonoscopy

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Three times dose of 4L PEG

Intervention Type DRUG

The same as mentioned above. The participants began to drink the first 1.5 L of PEG at 2:00 PM and the second 1.5L of PEG at 8:00PM on the day before colonoscopy at a rate of 250 mL every 15 minutes. On the day of the procedure, patients take the remaining 1.0 L 4-6 hours before colonoscopy.
