For evaluation of the usefulness of oral sulfate solution (OSS) for bowel preparation of elderly people, investigators compare the efficacy, tolerability and safety between OSS and 2L polyethylene glycol (PEG) with ascorbic acid (Asc).
This study is a multicenter, prospective, randomized parallel arm, investigator initiated trial.
The aim of study is to compare oral sulfate solution (OSS) with 2L polyethylene glycol (PEG) with ascorbic acid (Asc) for bowel preparation in elderly people.
99 participants will be enrolled in each group (198 in total). The primary outcome is the efficacy of bowel preparation. Secondary outcomes are tolerability, satisfaction, and safety.

| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Bowel preparation scale of right/transverse/left colon using Boston bowel preparation scale (BPPS) | The BBPS assesses cleanliness of 3 segments of the colon (ascending, transverse, and descending colon), and the total is a 10-point scale (0-9) that grades each segment of the colon from 0 to 3. In this study, adequate bowel preparation is defined as a total score 6 points or higher and individual score of 2 points or higher in each segment. | 3 months |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Subject's satisfaction based on the 10-point visual analog scale | The 10-point scale from 0 to 10 | 3 months |
| Number of subjects who have a difficulty taking solution based on the 5-grade scale |
