Prognostic Value of Fecal Calprotectin to Inform Treat-to-Target Monitoring in Ulcerative Colitis

Although FCP had only modest cross-sectional accuracy in identifying disease activity, an FCP concentration of ≤250 μg/g vs >250 μg/g was associated with increased probability of achieving long-term clinical, endoscopic, and histologic remission, and reduced probability of colectomy and UC-related hospitalization (ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT00783718, NCT00790933, NCT02497469).
