简介
OBJECTIVES
Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a relatively new marker of intraluminal intestinal inflammation. Using meta-analytical techniques, the study aimed to evaluate the diagnostic precision of FC for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and colorectal cancer (CRC) in adults and children.
METHODS
Quantitative meta-analysis was performed on prospective studies, comparing FC levels against the histological diagnosis. Sensitivity, specificity, and diagnostic odds ratio (DOR) were calculated for each study. Summary receiver-operating characteristic (sROC) curves and subgroup analysis were undertaken. Study quality and heterogeneity were evaluated.
RESULTS
Thirty studies of 5,983 patients were included. FC levels in patients with IBD were higher by 219.2 micrograms per gram (μg/g) compared with normal patients (P< 0.001). sROC curve analysis showed a sensitivity of 0.95 (95% CI 0.93–0.97), specificity of 0.91 …
