S-C – time interval between oral simethicone and the start of colonoscopy; OR – odd ratio; CI – confidence interval; BBPS – Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. Multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed by adjusting for age, gender, BMI, and abnormal defecation for exploring the effect of shorter S-C and colonoscopy in the morning on bowel preparation quality, respectively.
