Data are presented as mean±SD or number (%). The Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) score was assigned as follows: 0, unprepared colon segment with mucosa not seen because of solid stool that could not be cleared; 1, portion of mucosa of the colon segment is seen; 2, minor amount of residual staining, small fragments of stool, and/or opaque liquid, but mucosa of the colon segment is seen well; 3, entire mucosa of the colon segment is seen well, with no residual staining, small fragments of stool, or opaque liquid.
