The Effect of 1L Polyethylene Glycol Plus Ascorbic Acid With Prepackaged Low-Residue Diet for Bowel Preparation

Participants who were allocated to the 2 L PEG with ascorbic acid (PEGA) group took 250 ml of PEG with ascorbic acid at 15-min intervals, completing 1 L of the PEG with ascorbic acid protocol at 8:00 PM on the day prior to the procedure. The remaining 1 L of the PEG with ascorbic acid solution was administered in the same manner at 6:00 AM on the day of the procedure. Participants assigned to the 1 L PEG with ascorbic acid with PLD (PLD) group consumed a prepackaged, low residue diet (ZeroCol, Korea Medical Food Inc., Seoul, Korea) which consisted of a breakfast, lunch and dinner, the day prior to colonoscopy. The Participants took 1 L PEG with ascorbic acid solution at 6:00 AM on the day of the colonoscopy in the same way as described above. All of the subjects ingested 500 mL of water for every 1 L of 1 L PEG with ascorbic acid solution consumed. The Participants completed all of the administrations at least 2 hours before the colonoscopy.
