Correlation between CRP/SAA and endoscopic findings. Only a low correlation is found between CRP and MES (r = 0.352, p = 03.38 × 10− 7, a). On the contrary, SAA has a high correlation with MES (r = 0.614, p = 5.44 × 10− 22, b). Moreover, trends of MES and inspection values (SAA and CRP) were evaluated using the Cochran-Armitage trend test. At MES 0, the ratio at which CRP and SAA are normal is the highest, and with increasing MES, the ratio gradually decreases. The decreasing trend in relation to MES was statistically significant in SAA (p < 0.05), but not in CRP (a, b). CRP, C-reactive protein; MES, Mayo Endoscopic Score; SAA, serum amyloid A
