Post-colonoscopy complications.Data are presented as the mean ± SD or number (percentage). VAS, visual analogue scale (0: none, 10: very severe). Because the complications showed a significant difference based on the duration between the two groups, the duration (≥1–2 h) was set as a dependent variable in the analysis. In multivariate analysis, consuming probiotics before bowel preparation was identified as a significant factor in lowering the duration of minor complications (Factors associated with complications (duration ≥ 1–2 h) after colonoscopy.OR, odds ratio; CI, confidence interval; BMI, body mass index.
