Capsule endoscopy is an extended tool for the diagnosis of small bowel Crohn's disease. However, factors associated with positive findings of this technique have not been well established. Our aim is to asses which factors are associated with a better diagnostic yield of capsule endoscopy in suspected small bowel Crohn's disease. ⋯ C-reactive protein and fecal calprotectin are appropriate biomarkers for selecting patients with suspected Crohn's disease of the small bowel for capsule endoscopy studies.
