Fecal calprotectin (FC) is a useful marker for assessing the activity of intestinal inflammation. However, most studies have used ileocolonoscopy to evaluate the association of FC with intestinal inflammation, and it is not clear whether FC is useful for the evaluation of small‐bowel Crohn's disease (CD). This study aimed to determine the usefulness of FC for predicting intestinal inflammation evaluated by balloon‐assisted endoscopy (BAE), which can visualize the deep small intestine.
