The study identified a lack of consistent cut-off/threshold values, with differing centre criteria for defining an 'abnormal' SeHCAT result. BAS prescription was not related in a simple way to the SeHCAT result, nor to the centre-defined result, highlighting a lack of clear patient care-pathways. There is a clear need for a future diagnostic accuracy study and a better understanding of optimal management pathways.
