Efficacy assessed by the physician's determination of the cleanliness of the colon using the cumulative Boston Bowel Preparation Scale (BBPS) score. The cumulative score is derived from three segmental scores assessed from the following three colonic segments: right colon, transverse colon, and left colon. Segment scores range from 0 to 3 with the following abbreviated definitions: 0=mucosa not visible; 1=a portion of the mucosa is visible; 2=minor residue, but mucosa is seen well; 3=entire mucosa is seen well with no residue. The cumulative BBPS score is the sum of the three segment scores such that a cumulative score of 9 represents a colon with maximum mucosa visible and a score of 0 represents minimal visibility.
