T-Score As an Indicator of Fracture Risk on Therapy: Evidence from Romosozumab Vs Alendronate Treatment in the Active-Controlled Fracture Study in Postmenopausal Women with Osteoporosis at High Risk Trial
Background/Purpose: BMD is a strong predictor of fracture risk in untreated patients. Recent evidence suggests that BMD achieved during treatment also reflects fracture risk; thus,…Abstract Number: 326 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Osteoporosis and Vertebral Fractures Are Associated with Disease Activity, Low Vitamin D Levels and Spinal Radiographic Damage in Patients with Axial Spondyloarthritis
Background/Purpose: Osteoporosis and vertebral fractures are comorbidities of Axial Spondyloarthritis (axSpA). We evaluated the relationship between disease activity and radiographic damage and bone mineral density…Abstract Number: 328 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Secular Trends in the Risk of Fragility Fracture Among Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: A General Population-Based Study
Background/Purpose: The risk of osteoporotic (OP) fracture among patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is higher than that of the general population. The worldwide incidence of…Abstract Number: 1218 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Caffeine Consumption and Risk of Osteoporosis: A Cross Sectional Study of 3, 210 Patients from the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey
Background/Purpose: Adenosine regulates bone metabolism. In vitro studies suggest that direct stimulation of the adenosine A2A receptor increases osteoblasts and diminishes osteoclasts, and thus inhibition…Abstract Number: 1223 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Inflammatory Bowel Diseases and the Risks of Fracture and Low Mineral Density: Review of the Literature and Meta-Analysis of Observational Cohorts
Background/Purpose: Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC), are associated with a decreased bone mineral density caused by chronic…Abstract Number: 1227 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Osteoporosis and Breast Cancer: Can FRAX-Based Risk Factors Accurately Predict Further Fractures at This Setting?
Background/Purpose: Women with breast cáncer (BC) are at risk for the development of bone loss and osteoporosis (OP) mainly due to adjuvant therapies, as aromatase…Abstract Number: 2783 • 2017 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Medications Associated with Osteoporotic Fracture Risk in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: Osteoporotic (OP) fractures are a major cause of disability, cost, and mortality in RA. Besides increased OP fracture risk, chronic inflammation and pain predispose…Abstract Number: 1181 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Risk Factors for Incident Fractures in Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus on Dialysis
Background/Purpose: Osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures are significant comorbidities in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Hip fractures are being increasingly recognized as a complication of…Abstract Number: 1232 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Interdisciplinary Osteoporosis Clinical Working Group and Fracture Liaison Service at Loma Linda University Medical Center (LLUMC): Laying the Groundwork
Background/Purpose: There is an ongoing effort worldwide to effect quality improvement to address secondary prevention of fractures. Patients who have incurred fractures attributed to osteoporosis…Abstract Number: 1705 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
The Risk of Fracture Among Patients with Psoriasis, Psoriatic Arthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: While rheumatoid arthritis (RA) has been linked to an increased incidence of osteoporosis (OP) and fracture, few studies have examined the risk of fracture…Abstract Number: 2541 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Glucocorticoid Use and Low Thoracic Bone Mineral Density Are Predictors for Clinical Fractures in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Five-Year Findings of the Tomorrow Study
Background/Purpose: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have muscle weakness and stiff or painful joints might be at increased risk of falls and fractures. The…Abstract Number: 2542 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Reducing the Dosage of Glucocorticoid to Zero Might Decrease Risk of Clinical Fractures in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Five-Year Findings of the Tomorrow Study
Background/Purpose: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have muscle weakness and stiff or painful joints might be at increased risk of falls and fractures. The…Abstract Number: 327 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Drug Retention Rate of Oral Bisphosphonate in Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis
Background/Purpose: As rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a well-established risk factor for osteoporosis and compression fracture, non-adherence to bisphosphonate (BP) therapy in patients with RA can…Abstract Number: 331 • 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting
Biologic Disease-Modifying Anti-Rheumatic Drug Use and the Risk of Non-Vertebral Osteoporotic Fractures in Japanese Patients with Rheumatoid Arthritis: Results from the IORRA Cohort Study
