Does serum ficolin-2 correlate worse than fecal calprotectin and CRP with endoscopic Crohn 's disease activity?
Ficolin-2 serum levels correlate worse with endoscopic CD activity when compared to fecal calprotectin or CRP.
Adequate lymph node evaluation for colon cancer was associated with lower mortality among all patients. However, among 3-year survivors, the association between lymph node evaluation and lower hazard of death was no longer significant, while postsurgical care remained strongly associated with lower long-term mortality, indicating that postsurgical care may partially explain the relationship between lymph node evaluation and mortality.
