Clinically proven
In a prospective clinical study of 123 patients at a leading US Hospital system using the MSIS-13 criteria as comparator, the Lyfstone Calprotectin test showed excellent sensitivity (98.1%) and specificity (95.7%). The calprotectin test outperformed blood-based PJI diagnostic tests such as CRP and ESR, confirming its diagnostic utility.
