The lipid profile for the prediction of prednisolone treatment response in patients with inflammatory hand osteoarthritis: The HOPE study

Our results suggest that the patients' lipid profile may improve the discriminative accuracy of the prediction of prednisolone treatment response in patients with inflammatory hand osteoarthritis compared to prediction by commonly measured patient characteristics alone. Hence, lipidomics may be a promising field for biomarker discovery for prediction of anti-inflammatory treatment response.
