Zusammenfassung: | Background
For Australians living with cystic fibrosis (CF), increased longevity means greater consideration needs to be given to long‐term endocrine sequelae such as CF‐related bone disease. Deficits in bone mass accrual are most likely to occur during childhood and adolescence. Current guidelines in Australia suggest repeat dual‐energy X‐ray absorptiometry (DXA) scans every 2 years. This study aims to stratify clinical factors that determine future bone health in the Australian CF population and use this to guide a more streamlined approach to bone health screening.
Methods
This study was a retrospective audit of all patients diagnosed with CF who were treated at the Royal Children's Hospital Melbourne, Australia from 2000 to 2016 (n = 453). Two hundred and two patients had a DXA scan in the study period (191 with height‐adjusted data) and 111 patients had more than one scan (108 with height‐adjusted data). An investigation into the associations between bone mineral density (BMD) Z score and potential risk factors was conducted using DXA and historical data.
Results
The main predictor of future BMD was the previous BMD Z score (p |
