Popis: Abstract Background We aimed to externally validate for the first time the diagnostic ability of fibrinogen to identify active inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Methods The research totally involved 788 patients with IBD, consisted of 245 ulcerative colitis (UC) and 543 Crohn’ s disease (CD). The Mayo score and Crohn disease activity index (CDAI) assessed disease activity of UC and CD respectively. The independent association between fibrinogen and disease activity of patients with UC or CD was investigated by multivariate logistic regression analyses. Area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) assessed the performance of various biomarkers in discriminating disease states. Results The fibrinogen levels in active patients with IBD significantly increased compared with those in remission stage (P
