Fecal immunochemical test for predicting mucosal healing in ulcerative colitis patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

Cong Dai, Ming-Jun Sun, Min Jiang, Qin Cao
Fecal immunochemical test (FIT) is a promising marker for assessment of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) activity. However, the utility of FIT for predicting mucosal healing (MH) of Ulcerative Colitis (UC) patients has yet to be clearly demonstrated. The objective of our study was to perform a diagnostic test accuracy test meta-analysis evaluating the diagnostic accuracy of FIT in predicting MH of UC patients.
