Apr 16 2024University of Birmingham Patients with suspected inflammatory bowel disease could benefit from better testing protocols that would reduce the need and lengthy wait for potentially unnecessary colonoscopies, a new study has found.
In the two-year study involving 767 participants, patients were triaged and had repeated fecal calprotectin tests and the research team found that the use of serial FCP tests were able to strongly predict possible IBD as well as Crohn's Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. Dr Peter Rimmer from the Birmingham NIHR Biomedical Research Centre at the University of Birmingham and corresponding author of the study said:

The rollout of this protocol could reduce the time taken to get a diagnosis and start treatment for IBDs as much more of the screening and testing can be done through primary care. The sensitivity of multiple FCP tests can be used to flag those patients who urgently need referral into secondary care.
