Biomarkers for osteoarthritis: Can they be used for risk assessment? A systematic review

Fatemeh Saberi Hosnijeh et al. Maturitas. 2015 Sep.

Abstract

The identification of early biochemical predictors of osteoarthritis (OA) has been the focus of much research over the past few years. However, it still is unclear whether current biochemical markers can be used in prognostic risk assessment of OA. The aim of this systematic review is to evaluate the possible prognostic application of blood and urinary biochemical markers of knee and hip OA. Abstract and full text selection was done by two independent reviewers. A total of 25 relevant publications including 37 biochemical markers of bone and cartilage turnover and inflammation associated with some aspects of OA were reviewed. Most of those biomarkers were studied only once or twice. Due to heterogeneity of both OA-phenotype and determinant among the publications, meta-analysis of the studied biochemical markers was not possible. There was strong evidence for urinary C-terminal telopeptide of collagen type II (uCTX-II) as a prognostic marker for knee OA progression and serum cartilage oligomeric protein (COMP) level as prognostic marker for incidence of knee and hip OA. Evidence for prognostic value of C-reactive protein is still inconclusive. International standardization of future investigations should be pursued to obtain more high-quality, homogenous data on the full spectrum of biochemical OA markers.
