Improving Osteoporosis Screening in Patients with Polymyalgia Rheumatica and Giant Cell Arteritis
Background/Purpose: Osteoporosis is a medical condition associated with decreased bone mass and bone architecture, which increases incidence of fragility fractures(4). It is associated with 1.5…Abstract Number: 1162 • ACR Convergence 2023
Serial Imaging Changes in Skeletal Muscle Composition and Their Association with Clinical Outcomes in Idiopathic Inflammatory Myopathies
Background/Purpose: Muscle weakness in inflammatory myopathies (IIM) is due to muscle-edema, atrophy and fatty-infiltration among which edema is the predominant cause at baseline. Some IIM…Abstract Number: 1996 • ACR Convergence 2023
Variation in Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry Reporting: A National Survey of Veterans Health Administration Clinics
Background/Purpose: Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is an important tool to identify Veterans with osteoporosis, assess fracture risk, and monitor treatment response. Variability in DXA acquisition,…Abstract Number: 2001 • ACR Convergence 2023
Burden of Metabolic Bone Disease in Patients with IgG4-Related Disease with and Without Autoimmune Pancreatitis
Background/Purpose: Metabolic bone disease (MBD), including osteopenia and osteoporosis, is common in patients with inflammatory disorders, due to disease factors and glucocorticoid (GC) use, and…Abstract Number: 2003 • ACR Convergence 2023
Effects of Abaloparatide on Cortical and Trabecular Compartments by 3D-DXA in Men with Osteoporosis
Background/Purpose: Abaloparatide (ABL) increases BMD in men with osteoporosis. In the Abaloparatide for the Treatment of Men with Osteoporosis (ATOM) trial, DXA-measured BMD change with…Abstract Number: 2531 • ACR Convergence 2023
Proton Pump Inhibitor Use Is Associated with Impaired Bone Mineral Density but Not Bone Microarchitecture in Patients with Inflammatory Rheumatic and Musculoskeletal Diseases Taking Glucocorticoids
Background/Purpose: Patients with inflammatory rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (iRMDs) are at increased risk of osteoporosis and fragility fractures. For this population, whether proton pump inhibitor…Abstract Number: 1320 • ACR Convergence 2022
Performance of FRAX® Brazil and NOGG Methodology with and Without Bone Mineral Density upon Predicting Fractures on a Community-Dwelling Elderly Population with High Incidence of Osteoporotic Fractures: The São Paulo Ageing and Health (SPAH) Study
Background/Purpose: SPAH is a prospective cohort of ≥65-year-old community-dwelling elderly with high fracture risk (40.3/1,000 person-years in women and 30.6/1,000 in men for vertebral fractures…Abstract Number: 1325 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Risks of Osteoporotic Fracture After Lung Transplant: A Retrospective Cohort Study at an International Transplant Center
Background/Purpose: Osteoporotic fractures are a well-known complication of lung transplant (LT) and can significantly impact the quality of life of LT recipients. Although much is…Abstract Number: 1329 • ACR Convergence 2022
Prevalence of Bone Fragility on DXA and CT in Patients with Obesity
Background/Purpose: Primary objective was to evaluate bone fragility prevalence on dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and on computed tomography (CT), in patients with severe obesity. Secondary…Abstract Number: 0131 • ACR Convergence 2022
Racial Differences in Bone Health of Sarcoidosis Patients: A Retrospective Study
Background/Purpose: Bone health in sarcoidosis is a complex topic, though data regarding racial differences in this population is lacking. Our study sought to identify racial…Abstract Number: 1276 • ACR Convergence 2022
Bone Density Imaging: Evaluation of Equipment and Process of Care Quality in US Veterans
Background/Purpose: Osteoporotic fractures contribute to significant morbidity and mortality. Dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is a valuable tool to identify osteoporosis, assess fracture risk, and monitor…Abstract Number: 1277 • ACR Convergence 2022
Improving Patient Appropriate Osteoporosis Screening with Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry Scans in an Academic Internal Medicine Practice
Background/Purpose: Nearly 53.6 million people in America have osteoporosis with increasing incidence each year (Brauer, JAMA 2009). Almost 25% of people with a hip fracture…Abstract Number: 1305 • ACR Convergence 2022
Characterizing Bone Microarchitecture with MRI in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Background/Purpose: Fractures in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are more common than age and sex matched controls. Fracture risk is traditionally assessed by dual-energy…Abstract Number: 1310 • ACR Convergence 2022
Is the Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) a Useful Tool in Patients with Diffuse Idiopathic Skeletal Hyperostosis (DISH)?
Background/Purpose: Patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases (RMD) have an increased fracture risk (FxR). Diffuse idiopathic skeletal hyperostosis (DISH) is a non-inflammatory disease characterized by…Abstract Number: 1317 • ACR Convergence 2022
The Epidemiology of Old versus Young Males Referred for BMD Assessment
Background/Purpose: Data on osteoporosis in men are scarce. The World Health Organisation's (WHO) definition of a T-score less than 2.5 has only been described for…
