Abstrakt: Context: Radius quantitative ultrasound measurement, that utilized a portable low-frequency (VLF) axial transmission ultrasound for assessing the properties of radius cortical bone in a non PHPT population revealed a possible role as a screening tool prior to DXA to evaluate fragility fracture.
Objective: To evaluate this portable ultrasound device as a screening tool of skeletal fragility in PHPT patients.
Methods: We enrolled 117 postmenopausal women with PHPT. Every subject had a DXA of femur, lumbar spine, non-dominant distal 1/3 radius, TBS measurement, VLF with a portable device and spine x- ray.
Results: The mean age of the patients was 68 ± 10 years. The measurement of agreement between radius DXA and VLF was: K = 0.43, p < 0.001. A lower radius US T-score, also adjusted for years since menopause and BMI, was associated with osteoporosis identified with DXA at lumbar and/or femoral neck sites: OR = 1.852 (CI 1.08, 3.18). All fractures were associated with femoral neck T-score: OR = 1.89 (95% CI 1.24, 2.89), as well as with total hip T-score: OR = 1.65 (95% CI 1.09, 2.50), and years since menopause: OR = 1.25 (95% CI 1.02, 1.54).Morphometric vertebral fractures were associated with years since menopause: OR = 1.28 (95% CI 1.02,1.61), femoral neck T-score OR = 1.96 (95% CI 1.227, 3.135), total hip T-score OR = 1.64 (95% CI 1.04, 2.60), TBS OR = 0.779 (95% CI 0.60-0.99), both ultra-distal radius T-score: OR = 1.50 (95% CI 1.05, 2.156), and radius US T-score: OR = 1.67 (95% CI 1.09, 2.56).
Conclusions: VLF could be used for screening purposes prior to DXA to evaluate PHPT fracture risk, only in conditions in which DXA measurement cannot be performed.
