Figure 1 Increased baseline fecal calprotectin values in patients with inflammatory bowel disease are associated with elevated risk for clinical relapse within 6 mo. Patients with disease relapse within 6 mo of follow up have higher FC values at baseline. Column bars represent median values with interquartile range. FC: Fecal calprotectin.
