Prevalence Of Osteoporosis

The prevalence of osteoporosis is forecasted to escalate in Malaysia with an increasing elderly population. This study aimed to analyze the prevalence and the risk factors of osteoporosis among middle-aged and elderly Chinese Malaysians. Three hundred sixty seven Malaysian Chinese aged ≥40 years in Klang Valley, Malaysia, were recruited. All subjects completed a structured questionnaire comprised of demographic details, medical history, diet, and lifestyle practices. Body anthropometry and bone mineral density measurements were also performed. The relationship between bone health status and risk factors was determined using multivariate logistic regression. Fifteen-point-three percent of the overall study population and 32.6% of those aged ≥71 years had osteoporosis. The prevalence of osteoporosis among women (18.9%) was higher than men (11.5%). The significant predictors of osteoporosis were age, body weight, and low monthly income. Lean mass, low education level, and being underweight predicted osteoporosis in women. Lean mass was the only significant predictor of osteoporosis in men. Overall, 15.3% of the Malaysian Chinese aged ≥40 years from Klang Valley, Malaysia, had osteoporosis. Osteoporosis was associated positively with increased age and low monthly income and negatively with body weight. Therefore, osteoporosis preventive strategies targeting Chinese elderly from a low socioeconomic background is necessary.

Prevalence Of Osteoporosis

Introduction: Recent studies highlighted a significant association between bone mineral density and atherosclerosis. Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death in Western countries, while the prevalence of osteoporosis reached 9% in Hungary. Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of osteoporosis among patients with peripheral vascular disease. Methods: In a cross-sectional study bone mineral density using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry in 172 patients with lower limb ischemia was investigated. According to previous medical history and blood tests, risk factors of atherosclerosis were also assessed and serum markers of bone turnover and other factors that could influence osteoporosis were evaluated. Results: Prior to bone mineral density screening, osteoporosis was known in 9% of patients. Based on osteodensitometric evaluation, 37% of the patients were diagnosed as having osteopenia and 31% as having osteoporosis. According to risk factors, different patient groups were created. Significantly more female than male patients had osteoporosis, while smoking, age and body mass index failed to affect the prevalence of osteoporosis. Conclusion: These results suggest that patients with severe atherosclerosis need to be regularly screened and, if necessary, treated for osteoporosis. Orv. Hetil., 2013, 154, 369–375.

Osteoporosis Risk

Background:Taking a course of physical rehabilitation creates the prerequisites for falls and injuries in patients at high risk of fractures. Data on fracture risk and prevalence of osteoporosis in older patients starting medical rehabilitation can change the approach of doctors to the development of rehabilitation programs and the management of such patients.Objectives:To assess the prevalence of osteoporosis, individual risk factors for osteoporosis as well as the proportion of people with high risk of osteoporotic low-energy fractures among patients over 50 years old undergoing treatment according to the “medical rehabilitation” profile.Methods:The study group comprised of 600 patients (426 women and 174 men) aged 50 to 84 years, average age 64.25 ± 10.17 years, undergoing treatment in a rehabilitation department. This was a cross-sectional study in the form of unified questionnaire, including data concerning age, weight, height, BMI, clinical and rehabilitation diagnosis, anamnesis of the main disease, anamnesis vitae, presence of osteoporosis diagnosis in the anamnesis, its treatment, osteoporosis risk factors estimation. An assessment of 10-year probability of osteoporotic fractures was carried out using Russian model of online FRAX® calculator.Results:41.8% patients in the study sample had osteoporosis risk factors, including 31.2% of subjects had 3 risk factors or more. 38.0% patients showed a high fracture risk according to the FRAX calculator. 34.1% had a diagnosis of osteoporosis, and 45.8% already had osteoporotic fractures. Among those who did not undergo densitometry examination, 69.9% had a history of low-traumatic fractures, and only 58.5% of patients with an established diagnosis of osteoporosis and 26.8% of those at high risk of fractures received effective therapy for osteoporosis.Conclusion:Population of patients over 50 years old undergoing rehabilitation is characterized by high frequency of osteoporosis and probability of fractures, and insufficient quality of osteoporosis verification and anti-osteoporotic therapy administration at the same time.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

Hospital Cardiac Arrest

Objectives: Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is associated with excessively high mortality rates. Recent studies suggest benefits from extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR) performed in selected patients. We sought to present the first results from our interdisciplinary ECPR program with a particular focus on early outcomes and potential risk factors associated with in-hospital mortality. Methods: Between January 2016 and December 2019, 44 patients who underwent ECPR selected according to our institutional ECPR protocol were retrospectively analyzed regarding pre-hospital, in-hospital, and early outcome parameters. Patients were divided into survivors (S) and non-survivors (NS). Statistical analysis of risk factors regarding in-hospital mortality of the patient cohort analyzed was performed. Results: The mean age of the population was 53 ± 12 years, with most patients being male ( n = 40). The leading cause of cardiac arrest (CA) was myocardial infarction ( n = 24, 55%). The median hospital stay was 1 (1;13) day. Twenty-three percent of patients ( n = 10) were discharged from hospital including eight patients (18%) with CPC 1–2. Survivors showed a trend toward shorter pre-hospital CPR duration (60 (59;60) min (S) vs 60 (55;90) min (NS), p = 0.07). Conclusion: Establishing ECPR programs in large population areas offers the option to improve survival rates for OHCA patients. Stringent compliance of institutional criteria (mainly age, witnessed arrest, and time of pre-hospital resuscitation) and providing ECPR to strictly selected patients seems to be a vital factor for such programs’ success. Pre-clinical settings and therapeutic measures must be adjusted in this regard to improve outcomes for this highly demanding patient cohort.

Aim        To analyze first results of using the Aterostop calculator for a comprehensive evaluation of the risk for cardiovascular diseases (CVD).Material and methods        A cross-sectional study analyzed major and additional risk factors in 460 subjects without apparent disease and in patients with documented CVD of atherosclerotic origin using the application (calculator) Aterostop developed in the National Medical Research Center of Cardiology in Moscow, Russia.Results   45.4% of evaluated persons belonged to the categories of very high and extreme risk. Age and frequencies of smoking, arterial hypertension, and diabetes mellitus (DM) increased with the increase in risk; the growth of DM was exponential. 129 (28%) individuals used lipid-lowering medications at the time of study. Their plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly lower than in those who did not received this treatment. However, achieving the target level was inversely proportional to the risk: the greatest proportion of individuals who reached the LDL-C target was in the category of low risk and the smallest proportion was in the category of extreme risk (75 % vs. 3.7 %, respectively).Conclusion            The results obtained with the calculator Aterostop were consistent with earlier reports of insufficient effectiveness of primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic CVDs, which requires more tight and fruitful cooperation of the physician and the patient.
