Existing CT Scans as Good as DXA for Assessing Hip Fracture Risk

Scott Baltic  |  May 8, 2018

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—A “biomechanical” analysis of a previously taken pelvic or abdominal computed tomography (CT) scan is at least as accurate in assessing an individual’s hip fracture risk as a dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan, according to new research. This accuracy of the hip bone mineral density (BMD) T-score as measured by the biomechanical…

Healthy Diet Linked to Lower Hip Fracture Risk in U.S. Women

Mary Gillis  |  March 4, 2018

(Reuters Health)—Eating an overall healthy diet is tied to a lower risk of hip fracture among women over age 50, a U.S. study suggests. Researchers analyzed decades’ worth of dietary and health data for more than 100,000 U.S. men and women. They found that women who scored highest on the American Healthy Eating Index-2010 (AHEI)…

Baseline Bone Measures Predict Risk of Fragility Fracture in Postmenopausal

Will Boggs, MD  |  February 5, 2018

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Baseline measures of bone density, microarchitecture and strength predict the risk of fragility fractures in postmenopausal women, according to results from the Calgary CaMOS cohort. Changes in bone health were not associated with fracture risk, however, said Dr. Lauren A. Burt from the University of Calgary, Canada, who worked on the study….

Higher Fracture Risk in Patients with Polymyalgia Rheumatica, Giant-Cell Arteritis

Will Boggs MD  |  January 24, 2018

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Patients with polymyalgia rheumatica (PMR) and giant-cell arteritis (GCA) have similarly increased risks of fracture, compared with the general population, researchers have found. “It is of surprise that patients with GCA have a similar fracture risk to those with PMR,” Dr. Zoe Paskins from Keele University, in Staffordshire, told Reuters Health by…

Use Epidural Steroid Injections Cautiously in Patients with Fracture Risk

Scott Baltic  |  January 22, 2018

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Use of epidural steroid injections (ESIs) “should be approached with prudence,” particularly in patients who are at risk for osteoporotic fractures, such as women of postmenopausal age, according to authors of a systematic review. Although the literature presents a mixed picture, ESIs in doses as low as 80 mg methylprednisolone equivalents seem…

Changes in Bone Markers Predict Fracture Reduction with Anti-Resorptive Drug

Will Boggs MD  |  January 17, 2018

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Treatment-related changes in bone formation markers predict vertebral-fracture reduction with anti-resorptive drug therapy, according to a meta-regression analysis of 14 clinical trials. “These results may be useful for the development of new osteoporosis treatments or when considering new populations or dosing regimens with existing treatments,” Dr. Douglas C. Bauer from the University…

Hip Fractures Increasing in Older U.S. Women

Cheryl Platzman Weinstock  |  January 16, 2018

(Reuters Health)—The incidence of hip fractures in older women in the U.S. is rising after more than a decade of decline, according to a large new study of Medicare recipients. Hip fracture rates declined each year from 2002–2012, the researchers found. But starting in 2013, hip fracture rates leveled off and were higher than expected….

Vitamin D, Calcium Supplements May Not Lower Fracture Risk

Lisa Rapaport  |  January 1, 2018

(Reuters Health)—Older adults who take vitamin D and calcium are no less likely to break their hips or other bones than peers who don’t use these supplements, a research review suggests. Researchers examined data from 33 previous trials with a total of more than 51,000 people aged 50 or older who were living in the…

Rheumatology Drug Updates: Hip Fracture Rates After Bisphosphonate Drug Holidays, Plus More on Golimumab, Ustekinumab

Michele B. Kaufman, PharmD, BCGP  |  December 19, 2017

Bisphosphonate Drug Holidays Drug holidays are common for patients on bisphosphonate therapy. Often, these breaks in treatment are related to known U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) warnings and drug class adverse effects. Currently, data on fracture risk related to drug holidays are limited. In recent research highlighted at the 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting ,…

Vitamin D-Metabolite Ratio Predicts Fracture Risk Better than 25(OH)D

Anne Harding  |  December 14, 2017

NEW YORK (Reuters Health)—Vitamin D-metabolite ratio (VMR) may be a better marker of bone health than 25(OH)D (25-hydroxyvitamin D), a new study suggests. “The parameter that’s currently used to assess vitamin D status, 25(OH)D, is a flawed measure because it doesn’t consistently associate with important bone outcomes like hip fractures,” Dr. Charles Ginsberg of Veterans…
