Risk factors for the development of osteoporosis after spinal cord injury. A 12-month follow-up study

Summary Spinal cord injury (SCI) has been associated with a marked bone loss after injury and a consequent increased risk of osteoporosis. The evaluation of bone mineral density shortly after SCI is a simple and effective method for predicting the development of osteoporosis during the first year af...

Zusammenfassung:Summary Spinal cord injury (SCI) has been associated with a marked bone loss after injury and a consequent increased risk of osteoporosis. The evaluation of bone mineral density shortly after SCI is a simple and effective method for predicting the development of osteoporosis during the first year after SCI. Introduction Spinal cord injury (SCI) has been associated with a marked bone loss after injury and a consequent increased risk of osteoporosis and fractures. The aim of this study was to analyze the factors associated with osteoporosis development short-term after SCI. Methods We included patients with complete recent SCI (
