Overview of the literature on the (significant) relation between biomarker and radiographic progression

Author Population No. Biomarker Classification Results
Syversen et al.10 RA ≤4 yr 136 C2C (baseline serum) SHS rapid >1 vs. slow <1 NS
(radiographic progression per yr, progression change baseline to 5 or 10 yr)
Mullan et al.9 RA 45 C2C (baseline,1, 3, 6, 9,12-mo serum) C2C ↑ at 1, 3 mo
PsA 17 C1,2C SHS rapid >1.5 vs. slow <1.5 C1,2C ↑ at 1, 3 mo
(mean 11 yr, DAS28 >3.2) CPII (radiographic progression at 1 yr) NS
ΔCOL (ΔC2C + ΔC1,2C + ΔCPII) ΔCOL ↑ at 1, 3, 6, 9 mo
Verstappen et al.11 RA ≤1 yr 87 C2C (1, 2, 3, 4-yr serum) C2C ↑
C1,2C 66 th = SHS >7.4 vs. 33 rd percentile = SHS <2.3 C1,2C ↑
CS846 (radiographic progression over 4-yr span) CS846 ↑
CPII NS
Ishiguro et al.7 RA 63 C2C (knee SF) Mild vs. moderate vs. severe RA NS
(mean 10 yr) CS846 Mild vs. moderate RA CS846 ↓
CPII Mild vs. moderate vs. severe RA NS
(Larsen score: 0, 1 = mild; 2, 3 = moderate; 4, 5 = severe)
Mansson et al.8 RA ≤2 yr 18 CS846 (baseline serum) Rapid vs. slow hip-joint radiographic progression CS846 ↓
CPII (Larsen score: rapid = 46; slow = 4 at 2 yr) NS
