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

Figure 5 Lower fecal calprotectin baseline values are associated with increased probability of achieving mucosal healing. A: Patients with mucosal healing at endoscopy performed within 6 mo of follow up have lower FC values at baseline. Column bars represent median values with interquartile range. B: Receiver operating curve analysis: FC baseline levels predict accurately the presence of mucosal inflammation in endoscopy performed within 6 mo of FC measurement. FC: Fecal calprotectin.
