ABSTRACT
PTH-14 Figure 1Comparison of percentage of compliance between hospital and home faecal calprotectin test request[Figure omitted. See PDF]ConclusionThe improvement in FC testing compliance with rapid home testing kit compared to laboratory based testing illustrates the benefit of adapting home testing as the standard in future. The considerable increase in compliance by home testing may be due less disruption to patient’s personal life i.e., ability to undergo testing at home, symptoms such as faecal incontinence preventing patients delivering samples to hospital and COVID pandemic compelling patients to stay at home. Adopting rapid FC home testing as standard provides patients with increased locus of control regarding their care, providing health care professionals with rapid results, thus, will improve management of IBD. The ability for patients to perform home test has obvious advantages during the COVID pandemic.ReferencesSands BE. Biomarkers of Inflammation in Inflammatory Bowel Disease.
