Brief Summary
Constipation is a common high risk factor for inadequate bowel preparation. The bowel cleansing efficacy of the standard split-does of 4L seems to be suboptimal in constipated patients. The investigator hypothesized that compared with the standard preparation regime, the split-dose with three times of 4L PEG may be superior in BP quality.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
Rate of adequate bowel preparation
Adequacy of bowel preparation quality was defined as a total score ≥6 and each segmental score ≥2. The total scores included 3 scores of colonic regions: the right side, the transverse section, and the left side, which ranged from 0 to 9 (0= very poor, 9=excellent). For the unreached colon in incomplete colonoscopy, the segmental BBPS was scored as 0. The total and segmental scores were judged through videos by investigators who were familiar with the criteria and blinded to group allocation.

Interventions
All patients were given oral instruction for bowel preparation on the day of appointment and re-instruction through phone call on two days before scheduled colonoscopy. They were instructed to have a regular lunch and take only clear liquid or low-residual food for the dinner on the day before colonoscopy. The participants began to drink the first 2 L of PEG at 7:00-9 PM on the day before colonoscopy at a rate of 250 mL every 15 minutes. On the day of the procedure, patients took the remaining 2 L 4-6 hours before colonoscopy.
The same as mentioned above. The participants began to drink the first 1.5 L of PEG at 2:00 PM and the second 1.5L of PEG at 8:00PM on the day before colonoscopy at a rate of 250 mL every 15 minutes. On the day of the procedure, patients take the remaining 1.0 L 4-6 hours before colonoscopy.
