Profile of Consecutive Fecal Calprotectin Levels in the Perioperative Period and Its Predictive Capacity for Early Endoscopic Recurrence in Crohn’s Disease

BACKGROUND: The perioperative behavior of fecal calprotectin and whether it predicts early postoperative endoscopic recurrence of Crohn’s disease are unknown. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to compare the perioperative profiles of fecal calprotectin between patients with Crohn’s disease and patients without Crohn’s disease undergoing intestinal resection and to identify the association between consecutive fecal calprotectin levels and endoscopic recurrence...
