With few exceptions, most randomized controlled trials (RCT) have assessed acute-phase reactants (CRP and ESR) as part of the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) 20 response criteria. As part of the Group for Research and Assessment of Psoriasis and Psoriatic Arthritis (GRAPPA)\u2013Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) working group, we performed a systematic review of the literature to assess the performance of inflammatory biomarkers in psoriatic arthritis (PsA).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods.<\/jats:title><jats:p>A systematic search of PubMed and Embase was performed. The search included peer-reviewed articles and scientific meeting abstracts about RCT and longitudinal observational studies that assessed systemic inflammation using acute-phase reactants in PsA.

Twenty-eight articles reported CRP and\/or ESR separately, and the remaining articles reported CRP and\/or ESR as part of the ACR response criteria. Studies assessing OMERACT responsiveness provided conflicting reports. Inflammatory biomarkers had construct validity for more active disease.

There is only weak evidence to support normalization of these biomarkers in predicting good clinical outcomes\/remission criteria. The predictive value for cardiovascular outcomes was generally good.

needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3899\/jrheum.180195","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,11,1]],"date-time":"2018-11-01T07:19:23Z","timestamp":1541056763000},"page":"266-273","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["Using
