Faecal calprotectin is the biomarker that best distinguishes remission from different degrees of endoscopic activity in Crohn’s disease

Table 4 Summary of results of the comparison between the medians of the non-invasive markers according to the degree of endoscopic activity (SES-CD)

	Remission X Mild activity	Remission X Moderate to severe activity	Mild activity X Moderate to severe activity
CDAI	p = 0.372	p = 0.001*	p = 0.002*
Platelets (× 10³/mm³)	p = 0.156	p = 0.045	p = 0.0504
CRP (mg/L)	p = 0.112	p < 0.001*	p = 0.074
fCal (mcg/g)	p = 0.014*	p < 0.001*	p = 0.157

* Significant p value: p < 0.0167 (Bonferroni’s correction). Test: Mann-Whitney test
