Table 1 Characteristics of patients and controls. Urine was from the same patient / healthy control, of whom feces was collected. Data are given as median and interquartile range. There were no significant differences between these groups. Unpaired Student´s t-test was used for comparison of patients / controls for SCFA and 3-indoxylsulfate analysis. Mann Whitney U-test was used for comparison of the respective patient and control cohorts. Chi-square test was used for categorical variables and P > 0.05 was obtained for all of these comparisons

From: Fecal short chain fatty acids and urinary 3-indoxyl sulfate do not discriminate between patients with Crohn´s disease and ulcerative colitis and are not of diagnostic utility for predicting disease severity
