Fig. 3: Faecal NE activity predicts clinical activity in UC patients.
From: Faecal neutrophil elastase-antiprotease balance reflects colitis severity
a Mann–Whitney test of rate of cleavage of NE substrate in IBD samples from ulcerative colitis (UC) patients classified as having inactive (circles, n = 13) and active (squares, n = 14) disease, ***P ≤ 0.001. b Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis of accuracy of NE activity and faecal calprotectin to predict active and inactive disease. Area under curve (AUC) for NE activity = 0.8681 and 0.8462 for calprotectin.
