Association of Faecal Calprotectin Level and Combined Endoscopic and Radiological Healing in Patients With Crohn's Disease Receiving Anti-tumour Necrosis Factor Therapy

摘要

Background and Aims: Combined endoscopic and radiological healing, or deep healing, is associated with favourable outcomes in patients with Crohn's disease; thus, a non-invasive biomarker for predicting deep healing would be invaluable. We evaluated the usefulness of faecal calprotectin for predicting deep healing in patients with Crohn's disease receiving anti-tumour necrosis factor [TNF] therapy.
