Abstract

The aim of this study is to evaluate the correlation and diagnostic value of digital radiographic absorptiometry and Dual Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry (DXA) in the diagnosis and assessment of osteoporosis.Spine and non-dominant femoral DXA measurements ( Lunar Cooperation, USA) and non-dominant hand absorptiometric measurements ( Metriscan-Alara, California-USA) have been done in 172 post-menopausal women who were outpatients in the Physical Therapy and Rehabilitation Clinic at İstanbul Göztepe Hospital of Education and Research . Demographic characteristics were identified. Statistical analyses have been performed by the calculation of Pearson correlation coefficient. The post-menopausal women mean age was 59±8.43Std (41-81 years). Both spine and femur DXA T scores were moderately correlated with radiographic absorptiometric scores (r: 0.63 and 0.62 respectively, p<0.001). Femoral and L1-L4 T scores were moderately correlated (r. 0.53,p<0.001). Different measurements methods of bone mineral density at different skeletal sites, in parallel to the literature, are moderately correlated in post-menopausal women. We can conclude that radiographic absorptiometry can be used as a screening technique or when DXA measurement is not available.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı osteoporoz tanısı ve değerlendirilmesinde geçerliliği tespit edilmiş olan Dual Enerji X Işını Absorpsiyometre (DEXA) ölçümü ile dijital radyografik absorpsiyometre ölçümünün korelasyonu ve tanı değerini saptamaktı. İstanbul Göztepe Eğitim ve Araştırma Hastanesi Fizik Tedavi ve Rehabilitasyon Poliklinik'lerine başvuran 172 postmenopozal kadın hastanın dominant olmayan el falanksından absorpsiyometrik ölçümleri (Metriscan-Alara, Kaliforniya, ABD) ve lomber-dominant olmayan femoral DEXA ( Lunar Cooperation, ABD) ölçümleri yapıldı. Demografik özellikleri belirlendi. İstatistiksel değerlendirmede Pearson korelasyon katsayısı hesaplandı. 41-81 yaşları arasındaki postmenopozal kadın hastaların yaş ortalaması 59±8.43SD (41-81 yaş) idi. Radyografik el absorpsiyometresiyle lomber ve femoral DEXA sonuçları korele bulundu. Femur boynu ile falanks T skorları korelasyon katsayısı r: 0.62 (p<0.001) ; L1-L4 ile falanks T skorları korelasyon katsayısı r: 0.63 (p<0.001) olarak bulundu. Femur boynu ile L1-L4 T skorları ise r: 0.54 (p<0.001) oranında korele bulundu. Sonuç olarak postmenopozal kadın hastalarda iskeletin farklı bölümlerinden farklı cihazlarla yapılmış olan kemik mineral yoğunluğu ölçümleri , literatürdeki diğer çalışmalardaki gibi, anlamlı düzeyde korele bulunmuştur. Yoğun çalışılan kliniklerde ön tarama olarak ya da DEXA bulunmayan ortamlarda radyografik absorpsiyometrenin kullanılabilir olduğu kanaatindeyiz.
