Trabecular Bone Score in der Rheumatologie: Gibt es einen Nutzen im Vergleich zur alleinigen Osteodensitometrie?
Research output: Contribution to journal › Review › Research › peer-review
Patients with inflammatory rheumatic diseases have an increased risk of fractures due to the inflammatory potential of the disease and also because of the treatment with glucocorticoids that is often necessary. According to the current guidelines of the Governing Body on Osteology (DVO), the fracture risk can be assessed using dual energy X‑ray absorptiometry and can also be supplemented by measuring the trabecular bone score (TBS). The assessment of the TBS offers additional advantages, for example in glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis and in patients with osteoproliferative changes of the spine (spondylarthritis) and thus optimizes the fracture risk assessment in the rheumatological patient population.
