The study included 67 people: 22 patients with knee OA, 22 patients with PsA, and 23 individuals who were the control group of healthy individuals (HC). The concentration of IL-18, IL-20, IL-6, MMP-1, MMP-3, COMP, PG-AG, and YKL-40 in serum were determined. Among the OA and PsA patients group, the radiological assessment and clinical assessment were also performed. The concentration of 7 out of 8 of examined biomarkers (except MMP-1) was statistically significantly higher in the serum of patients with OA and PsA than in the control group. Compering OA and PsA groups only, the serum PG-AG level in OA patients was statistically significantly higher than in PsA patients (p &lt; 0.001). The results of univariate and multivariate logistic regression analysis comparing OA and PsA biomarker serum levels identified PG-AG and COMP as markers that are significantly different between patients with OA and PsA (odds ratio 0.995 and 1.003, respectively). The ROC curve constructed using the model with age showed PG-AG and COMP had an AUC of 0.907. The results of this study show that COMP and PG-AG may be sensitive markers differentiating patients with osteoarthiritis from psoriatic arthritis.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/diagnostics11010052","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,31]],"date-time":"2020-12-31T10:10:37Z","timestamp":1609409437000},"page":"52","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Serum Biomarkers of Inflammation and Turnover of Joint Cartilage Can Help Differentiate Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) Patients from Osteoarthritis (OA) Patients"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3486-3555","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Micha\u0142","family":"Waszczykowski","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Arthroscopy, Minimally Invasive Surgery and Sports Traumatology, Medical University of Lodz, Kosciuszki 4, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Anna","family":"Fabi\u015b-Strobin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Clinic of Orthopaedic and Traumatology, Polish Mother\u2019s Memorial Hospital Research Institute, Rzgowska 281\/289, 93-338 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Igor","family":"Bednarski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology, Pediatric Dermatology and Oncology Clinic, Medical University of Lodz, Kosciuszki 4, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Aleksandra","family":"Lesiak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology, Pediatric Dermatology and Oncology Clinic, Medical University of Lodz, Kosciuszki 4, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Joanna","family":"Narbutt","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Dermatology, Pediatric Dermatology and Oncology Clinic, Medical University of Lodz, Kosciuszki 4, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Jaros\u0142aw","family":"Fabi\u015b","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Arthroscopy, Minimally Invasive Surgery and Sports Traumatology, Medical University of Lodz, Kosciuszki 4, 90-419 Lodz, Poland"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,12,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"242","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0035-1549022","article-title":"Identification of Synovial Fluid Biomarkers for Knee Osteoarthritis and Correlation with Radiographic Assessment","volume":"29","author":"Monibi","year":"2015","journal-title":"J.
