Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by decreased bone strength and an increased risk of fracture. Age, gender, body mass index, fragility fracture history, corticosteroid use, immobilization, smoking and alcohol use, endocrine pathologies besides inflammatory and infectious pathologies can also be effective in the development of osteoporosis. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of Covid-19 infection on the development of osteoporosis.
In this study, bone mineral density (BMD) measurements of patients with Covid-19 infection were examined. For this, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measurement was used. A total of 55 patients were included in the study and data such as age, height, weight, comorbidities, drugs used, and treatment methods were recorded. Results showed that the time spent in the intensive care unit was associated with the femoral neck T score in DEXA measurements of patients with Covid-19 infection. The use of drugs such as alendronate, zolendronate, denosumab or teriparatide during the treatment process did not have a statistically significant effect on the lumbar and femur T scores.
Kayseri Education and Research Hospital is the lead sponsor of 26 studies on the registry; 2 are open to participants now.
Counted across the registry records on this site, refreshed daily.
Between August 2020 and July 2021, two separate excel files were created for the identification numbers of the patients who had DEXA measurements and the identification numbers of the patients who had covid. Then, common ID numbers were found in both excel files in the computer environment. Among these patients, female patients over the age of 18 who had dexa measurements twice before and after covid, with at least one year between two dexa measurements and at least one month after covid infection were included in the study.
