Table 3.

Diagnostic accuracy of bowel ultrasound [BUS] and/or faecal calprotectin [FC] compared with colonoscopy [CS] in assessing endoscopic activity in a subgroup of 34 patients with ulcerative colitis [UC] [95% confidence interval]: per-patient analysis

Sensitivity % Specificity % Accuracy % PPV % NPV %
CWT > 3 mm or FC > 101 µg/g 100 53 [26–78] 79 [62–91] 73 [52–88] 100
CWT > 3 mm + FC > 101 µg/g 84 [60–96] 93 [68–99] 88 [72–96] 94 [71–99] 82 [56–96]
CWT > 3 mm + FC > 101 µg/g + CWF 66 [40–86] 100 81 [64–93] 100 71 [47–88]

PPV, positive predictive value; NPV, negative predictive value; CWT, colonic wall thickening; CWF, colonic wall flow.
