Background. Osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (OVCFs) are common in older patients, which can cause back pain and even increase morbidity. However, the optimal therapy for patients with OVCFs remains unknown. Percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP), a minimally invasive procedure, has been a therapy option that is known to be effective in the pain management. Aim. The meta-analysis aims to summarize current best evidence on the efficacy of PVP and conservative treatment (CT) for pain management and functional results among OVCFs patients. Methods. We searched the publications on comparison of the efficacy of PVP versus CT for OVCFs patients up to November 2018. After rigorous reviewing on the quality, the data were extracted from eligible trials. All trials analyzed the summary hazard ratios of the endpoints of interest. Results. Moderate-strong evidence indicated that PVP had benefits on pain relief at 1 week and 1 month, but not at 3 months. With regard to the quality of life, no significant differences were found in the Roland-Morris Disability Questionnaire (RMDQ). However, there is significant difference in terms of EuroQol and Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis but not the RMDQ. Moreover, there were no any benefit in terms of vertebral fracture between groups. Conclusions. The meta-analysis showed that patients treated with vertebroplasty were associated with better pain relief and improved quality of life, without increasing the incidence of vertebral fracture compared with the CT group.

Abstract Aim To evaluate the quality of life in postmenopausal women and its correlation with bone mineral density. Study design Cross-sectional study. Duration of the study October 2012 to September 2014. Settings Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department, Regional Institute of Medical Sciences, Imphal. Study population Postmenopausal women who attended the department during the study period. Materials and Methods Quality of life was assessed using WHOQOL-BREF questionnaire, a validated brief version of the WHOQOL-100. Bone mineral density (BMD) in the lumbar spine, femoral neck and trochanter were measured using dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan – GE Lunar model. Results A total of 125 patients were studied. The mean t-scores in lumbar spine, femoral neck and trochanter were -2.550 ± 1.209, -1.831 ± 0.921 and -1.621 ± 1.064 respectively. The mean BMD (g/cm2) in lumbar spine, femoral neck and trochanter were 0.867 ± 0.144, 0.789 ± 0.131 and 0.682 ± 0.139 respectively. The mean overall WHOQOL score was 57.68±10.07. There were statistically significant positive association of WHOQOL score with the BMDs in lumbar spine, femoral neck and trochanter (p < 0.05). Multivariate regression showed significant relation of overall WHOQOL score with BMD lumbar spine (b=0.229; R2=0.119), BMD femoral neck (b=0.285; R2=0.129), and BMD trochanter (b=0.245; R2=0.119). Conclusion BMDs in the lumbar spine, femoral neck and trochanter had a positive correlation with quality of life scores. BMD also had a good predictive value in determining the quality of life in postmenopausal women.

Introduction. Osteoporosis is a systemic, metabolic, progressive bone disease characterized by reduced bone mineral density leading to bone fragility and reduced quality of life. The objective of this study was to examine the quality of social and mental functioning in postmenopausal women with reduced mineral bone density. Material and Methods. This prospective cross-sectional study included 210 postmenopausal women aged ? 50 years, who were referred for osteodensitometry to the Special Hospital for Rheumatic Diseases Novi Sad, Serbia. The study was conducted in the period from February 24 to April 3, 2017. All women completed the Serbian version of the Quality of Life Questionnaire of the European Foundation for Osteoporosis (41). They all underwent bone mineral density measurement in two regions of interest, and the results were interpreted according to the current definition of osteoporosis. The participants? social and mental functioning was analyzed including the following variables: age, place of residence, educational attainment, employment, nutritional status, bone mineral density, and low-trauma fractures. Statistical processing and analyses were performed using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences, version 20. Results. A statistically significant negative correlation was noted between social functioning and the T-score for the femoral neck (r = -0.438), hip (r = -0.412) and spine (r = -0.226), as well as mental functioning with the T-score for the femoral neck (r = -0.424), hip (r = -0.454) and spine (r = -0.319). Patients with a history of fractures had a poorer quality of social functioning (t = 2.17, p < 0.05). Conclusion. The examinees of older age, with poor socio-demographic status, reduced bone mineral density, history of low-trauma fractures presented with lower quality of social and mental functioning.
