Abstract
We compared fecal calprotectin and endoscopic findings of 53 children with possible inflammatory bowel disease and found an optimal cut-off of 68 µg/g in Receiver operative curve [AUC 0.88 (95% CI 0.79, 0.97)] to discriminate inflammatory bowel disease with other inflammatory gastrointestinal conditions.
