P180 A new rapid test for fecal calprotectin (FC) predicts mucosa healing in Crohn's disease (CD)

(p = 0.5). Appendectomy is an important factor in CD (p = 0.001, OR = 1 1.2). Smoking is not significant in our series (p = 0.4). 96% of patients in both groups had no family history of IBD. CD patients are significantly more hospitalized compared to UC (p = 0.001). In CD group, diagnosis was obtained immediately in 15% after an emergency surgery; ileal localization was reported in 68% and colonic CD presents 24%; the disease was controlled without recurrence after the first year in 24% and surgery was necessary in about 26%. Concerning UC population, 43% of patients were diagnosed with distal location, 34% with left sided colitis, and 23% with pancolitis; the treatment consisted primarily of drugs and surgery was necessary in only 2%. Over a 10 years follow-up period, complications were around 13% in the UC group versus 32% in CD’s. Conclusions: Despite the difficulty of accessing Infliximab and the absence of cyclosporine, the study demonstrates that the local population doesn’t present more complications than those reported in the literature which suggests probably a more important role of environmental factors.
