Fecal surrogate markers strongly correlate with endoscopic findings in pediatric onset inflammatory bowel disease: a retrospective study in Japan
FC is valuable for diagnosing endoscopic inflammation and predicting recurrence. A significant correlation was observed between FC and FL. In patients with UC and CD, both markers strongly correlated with endoscopic activity. Thus, FC and FL can serve as a reliable alternative to endoscopic evaluation in pediatric patients with childhood-onset IBD.
