Utility of a C-Reactive Protein Declination Curve for Detecting Misadventure after Enterocutaneous Fistula Takedown: Opportunity for Early Detection?
High-sensitivity CRP may serve as a useful adjunct for early detection of post-operative leaks following EC fistula takedown. Preliminary findings support further prospective studies to validate CRP declination curves as a diagnostic tool, potentially improving monitoring and patient outcomes in this high-risk population.
