A Resident-Led Interdisciplinary Quality Improvement Initiative to Increase Osteoporosis Screening in an Urban Clinic
Background/Purpose: Osteoporosis is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the United States. The USPSTF recommends screening all women age 65 and older or…Abstract Number: 1337 • ACR Convergence 2020
Relationship of the Pro12Ala Polymorphism of the PPARg Gene with Inflammatory Activity, Osteoporosis and Obesity in Patients with Psoriatic Arthritis
Background/Purpose: In the pathogenesis of psoriatic arthritis (PsA), increased inflammatory cytokines lead to increased RANGO-L activity and stimulation of osteoclasts, leading to osteoporosis. This comorbidity,…Abstract Number: 0108 • ACR Convergence 2020
The Relationship Between Body Fat Percentage and Bone Mineral Density in Rheumatoid Arthritis Patients
Background/Purpose: Currently, Dual-Energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) scans are used to determine fracture risk by calculating Bone Mineral Density (BMD). It is well established that body…Abstract Number: 0127 • ACR Convergence 2020
Biochemical Algorithm to Identify Individuals with ALPL Variants Between Subjects with Persistent Hypophosphatasaemia
Background/Purpose: Studies show a long diagnostic delay in Hypophosphatasia (HPP) and the accessibility for the genetic testing is not always possible. Our previous cross-sectional study…Abstract Number: 1442 • ACR Convergence 2020
Denosumab versus Oral Bisphosphonate for Osteoporosis in Long-term Glucocorticoid Users: A 12-month Randomized Controlled Trial
Background/Purpose: To compare the efficacy of denosumab (DEN) and oral alendronate (ALN) on spinal bone mineral density (BMD) in long-term glucocorticoid users.Methods: Patients receiving long-term…Abstract Number: 0109 • ACR Convergence 2020
