Table 5 Comparison of bowel preparation quality between short and long S-C groups in the validation cohort.
| Outcomes | Short S-C group (N=210) | Long S-C group (N=210) | P value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Median (range) | Median (range) | ||
| BBPS score | |||
| Total | 8.00 (4.00–9.00) | 7.00 (1.00–9.00) | |
| Right-side colon | 2.00 (1.00–3.00) | 2.00 (0.00–3.00) | |
| Transverse colon | 3.00 (2.00–3.00) | 3.00 (1.00–3.00) | |
| Left-side colon | 3.00 (1.00–3.00) | 3.00 (0.00–3.00) | |
| S-C – time interval between oral simethicone and the start of colonoscopy; BBPS – Boston Bowel Preparation Scale. | |||
