Fecal calprotectin measurement is a marker of short-term clinical outcome and presence of mucosal healing in patients with inflammatory bowel disease

Figure 2 Dose-response effect of fecal calprotectin concentration on the probability for relapse both at 3- as well as at 6-mo post-measurement. Cumulative number of patients with clinical relapse during 6-mo follow-up in relation to baseline concentration of fecal calprotectin. Patients belonging to the groups with higher FC values have an increased probability to relapse within both 3 and 6 mo of follow up. FC: Fecal calprotectin.
