Filter by:Osteoporotic fracture is a common public-health problem in the whole world. Although postfracture usage of anti-osteoporosis medications, may reduce mortality, recent results have been inconsistent. The investigators aim to examine associations between osteoporosis medication and mortality in older adults and any type of fracture patients. The investigators also aim to discuss the pleiotropic effects of different types of anti-osteoporosis medications.
China has gradually entered an aging society, and the incidence of osteoporotic fractures is increasing rapidly. Although the harm of osteoporotic fracture is huge, its diagnostic rate in China is still low. China still lacks a national osteoporotic fracture registration system, which has been established in many countries. The purpose of this study is to establish a Chinese osteoporotic fracture registration network platform (CORN), which will be helpful for the long-term comprehensive management of osteoporotic fracture population in China. This platform will help to establish a large prospective clinical cohort database of osteoporotic fractures and high-risk population in China.
Cement-augmented pedicle screws (CPS) and hybrid construct (HC) consisting of pedicle screws and additional hooks are common methods in osteoporotic fracture of the thoracic and lumbar spine. No study has compared the surgical results between CPS and HC techniques for treatment of the osteoporotic thoracic and lumbar spine fracture. The aim of the retrospective study was to compare surgical results using CPS or HC for osteoporotic fractures in the thoracic or lumbar spine. Patients who received surgical treatment with CPS or HC for osteoporotic fractures in the thoracic or lumbar spine.
The purpose of this study is to find out if one year of romosozumab (Evenity®), a monthly injection given in the arm under the skin, prior to an infusion of zoledronic acid Reclast®, works to treat bone loss and prevent it from worsening in older women (ages 65 and older) who have osteoporosis and reside in long-term care (LTC) facilities.
Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are serious health problems. Transplantation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) has gained considerable attention to treat osteoporosis and OVCFs because implanted healthy MSCs could be differentiated into osteoblasts and reduce the susceptibility of fractures by facilitating new bone formation. This study compares teriparatide (PTH 1-34) injection to combined treatment with Wharton's jelly-derived MSCs (WJ-MSCs) and teriparatide (PTH 1-34) in patients with OVCFs. It is a randomized, open-label, phase 2 study.
We evaluated fracture risk assessment tools (FRAXs) from different regions in Chinese postmenopausal women.
Objective: To assess whether residents (R1, R2 or R3 according to the year of residency) of an orthopedic tertiary service, investigate, treat and / or refer the patient with an osteoporotic fracture to treat osteoporosis (OP) and whether this learning is improved over the years of residence. Methods: Residents answered diagnostic and therapeutic questions related to a clinical case of osteoporotic fracture (OF) in 4 scenarios, which were the initial care in the emergency room, at the time of discharge from hospital, during their outpatient return in 3 and 6 months. Answers were compared between years of residence.
Osteoporosis is a bone disease characterized by a decrease in bone density with deterioration of the micro-architecture and the appearance of bone fragility, responsible for an increased risk of fractures. The most common osteoporotic fractures are spinal, wrist and femoral neck fractures. Osteoporosis affects 22.7% of women and 6.9% of men in France. Each year, around 8.9 million fragility fractures are identified worldwide, with an incidence in France in 2017 of 382,000 patients in France in 2017. The economic impact, the functional consequences and the quality of life of patients with osteoporosis, fracture or not, have been widely described in the literature in recent years. There is indeed a great alteration in the mobility, functional capacities and overall quality of life of these patients, measured by composite scores such as Short Form-36 (SF-36), EuroQol 5 Dimensions (EQ-5D) , the Health-related quality of life (HRQoL), or more specifically for osteoporosis, osteoporososis quality of life questionnaire (OQLQ) or its shortened version OLQ, the osteoporosis assessment questionnaire (OPAQ), the Quality of life questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (QUALEFFO) (specific for vertebral fractures), etc. However, few studies have focused on the repercussions of osteoporotic fractures at work, because this pathology affects more elderly subjects (> 65 years old) and therefore retirees.
This study is a retrospective case-control study. In the study, the data of 304 patients who were evaluated in our clinic between January 2017 and January 2020 with a pre-diagnosis or diagnosis of postmenopausal osteoporosis were retrospectively reviewed. Lumbar 1-4 and femoral neck bone mineral densitometry values T scores, ages, sedimentation, C-reactive protein, neutrophil, leukocyte and platelet levels, and mean platelet volume values of the patients were recorded. The neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio was calculated by dividing the neutrophil count by the lymphocyte count, and the platelet-lymphocyte ratio was calculated by dividing the platelet count by the lymphocyte count. The systemic immune inflammation index (SII) was calculated using the formula, SII = platelet count x neutrophil count / lymphocyte count. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prognostic value of the systemic immune inflammation index in postmenopausal osteoporosis and to examine the SII, N / L, PLT / L, MPV, sedimentation (ESR), C reactive protein (CRP), femur and lumbar BMD values and their relationships with each other.
The study aims to assess the adequacy of a set of clinical and laboratory investigations for identifying the osteosarcopenia status in patients undergoing a hip replacement for a fragility fracture of the femoral neck. The control group will consist of patients undergoing a hip replacement for osteoarthritis, as the decrease in muscle function and bone quality is less severe in this condition than in osteoporosis.
