Effect of Imperfect Compliance With Instructions for Fecal Sample Collection on Diagnostic Performance of 9 Fecal Immunochemical Tests.

CONCLUSIONS: Violations of fecal sampling instructions can lead to non-negligible variations in fecal hemoglobin measurements. The limited adverse effects on diagnostic performance indicate the robustness of FITs. The potential for increasing diagnostic performance by collecting more stool material should be followed up in further research. PMID: 30851476 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
