Abstrakt: Anecdotal evidence from preliminary observations has noted multiple instances where osteoporosis is present in elderly patients before the clinical detection of bowel disease, even in the absence of overt gastrointestinal symptoms. However, any potential association between these conditions remains to be further investigated. This computed tomography (CT) study investigates whether patients with gastrointestinal (GI) perforation have lower bone mineral density (BMD) than age and sex matched controls. BMD was measured by drawing 3D regions of interest in the bone marrow of the L1-L3 vertebral bodies on CT scans of each of 37 GI perforations and matched controls. Spectrometric calibration of Hounsfield units to the mineral scale was performed with density measurements in the paravertebral muscles (erector spinae) and subcutaneous adipose tissue. The mean BMD of patients with GI perforation (135.9 ± 24.3 mg/ml) was significantly lower than that of controls (96.9 ± 27.5 mg/ml, p < 0.05). The calculated T-and Z-scores of bone mineral density were also significantly different between the two groups (p < 0.05 for each) and were - 2.9 (± 0.90) and - 0.8 (± 0.91) in patients with GI perforation and - 1.6 (± 0.83) and 0 (± 0.96) in the control group, respectively. The results imply that patients with gastrointestinal (GI) perforation have lower bone mineral density (BMD) than age-and sex-matched controls, posing the question whether the screening and aggressive management of osteoporosis is high-risk populations for gastrointestinal perforation can prevent gastrointestinal complications in targeted populations.
