Highlights from this Publication

“ …Globally, the correlation between the FC measured by the home-based tool and the central ELISA was good. Particularly when FC values were categorized in normal, borderline or high, only a minority were misclassified…”
“…We found that the usability, as measured by two different usability scores, can be considered as excellent…”

“…The sensitivity, specificity, negative predictive value and positive predictive value of the homebased test to predict a fecal calprotectin > 300 µg/g by ELISA were, 89.8%, 95.5%, 91.4% and 94.6%…”
