Osteoporosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Point-of-care Osteoporosis Diagnostics With Bindex® Pocket Size Instrument and FRAX
Osteoporosis is a disease that leads to impaired skeletal strength and increased fracture
risk. Among 200 million osteoporotic patients (Tarantino, Cannata et al. 2007) most are
diagnosed only after several fractures. Furthermore, the progressively aging population will
increase the prevalence of osteoporosis. It is estimated that over 75% of osteoporotic
patients are not diagnosed and does not receive treatment for their condition.
In this study we aim to investigate the strength of Density Index (DI) for prediction of
proximal femur and lumbar spine BMD as well as determining the diagnostic thresholds for DI
for osteoporosis diagnostics by using the International Society for Clinical Densitometry
guidelines. In addition we aim to investigate how many additional women would be identified
for osteoporosis diagnosis/ treatment based on adding FRAX to Bindex versus adding FRAX to
DXA.
The investigators will start and organize a multicenter study in 5 osteoporosis clinics in
Suomen Terveystalo Healthcare Service Company in Finland. A total of 1100 postmenopausal
women (age 50 -79 years) will be measured with both axial DXA and Bindex. In addition, the
FRAX questioinnaire will be asked from everybody attending the study.
Clinical hypotheses:
1. Cortical bone thickness is decreased in osteoporosis.
2. Patient age, weight and height are related to BMD status and therefore are needed in BMD
estimation (Density Index).
3. Ultrasound is a safe method in osteoporosis screening and diagnostics for osteoporosis.
4. Fracture risk factors (FRAX) and point-of-care bone density measurement together have
significantly higher sensitivity and specificity for osteoporosis/treatment decisions
than one method alone.
The following procedures will be applied
- Signing Informed Consent
- Filling in the FRAX questionnaire
- DXA measurements of the proximal femur and AP spine
- Bindex ultrasound measurement of both the tibia and the radius
Written informed consent is obtained from all subjects before enrolment to the study. All
patient data is coded, i.e. made anonymous, to conform to personal data protection. The data
is processed only for study purposes.
A total of 1100 postmenopausal women (age 50 -79 years) will participate the study. The
subjects will be divided into two groups: healthy (100 women) and under osteoporosis
suspicion (1000 women). The groups will be matched by BMI.
Written informed consent is obtained from all subjects before enrolment in the study. All
patient data is coded, i.e. made anonymous, to conform to personal data protection. The data
is processed only for study purposes.
