Fecal calprotectin predicts complete mucosal healing and better correlates with the ulcerative colitis endoscopic index of severity than with the Mayo endoscopic subscore in patients with ulcerative colitis

Table 3 Cut-off FC levels for discriminating clinical remission and mucosal healing

	Cut-off FC level (mg/kg)	AUC (95% CI)	p value	Sensitivity	Specificity
pMS = 0	1272	0.748 (0.616–0.880)	<0.001	0.857	0.599
pMS = 0–2	2211	0.772 (0.701–0.842)	<0.001	0.875	0.592
MES = 0	187	0.883 (0.772–1.000)	<0.001	0.857	0.891
UCEIS = 0	187	0.883 (0.772–1.000)	<0.001	0.857	0.891
