Task: Answer Verification
Input (English): Question: Is skin pentosidine in very early hip/knee osteoarthritis ( CHECK ) a strong independent predictor of radiographic progression over 5 years follow-up?
Answer: Pentosidine adds to prediction of radiographic progression and burden of osteophyte formation and uCTXII to radiographic progression and burden of JSN, but overall skin pentosidine did not perform better that uCTXII in predicting radiographic progression or burden. Burden of damage over 5 years is mainly determined by radiographic joint damage at baseline.
Output (English): no
