AI Insight
⚡ TL;DR(Too Long; Didn't Read)

We conclude that QUS T-score has a weak correlation with DXA T-score at the lumbar spine and a moderate correlation with DXA T-score at the femoral neck; QUS has a very low sensitivity and concordance for the diagnosis of osteoporosis compared with spinal and femoral DXA in men.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:The aim of the study was to compare the T-scores of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of the calcaneus with those of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine and hip in men.

Abstract

The aim of the study was to compare the T-scores of quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of the calcaneus with those of dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) of the lumbar spine and hip in men. We studied on sixty-four male patients (mean age 52.47 + 16.51 years). BMD T-score at the lumbar spine and femoral neck correlated positively with QUS T-scqre of the calcaneus (r=0.258, p<0.005 and r=0.333, p<0.001 respectively). The kappa score for osteoporosis were 0.16 and 0.27 for QUS T-scores versus spinal and femoral DXA T-scores. With the "-2.5" cut-off level used, sensitivity and specificity of QUS T-score in detecting osteoporosis were 25% and 96% at the lumbar spine, were 0% and 91 % at the femoral neck and were 25% and 93% at the total hip. We conclude that QUS T-score has a weak correlation with DXA T-score at the lumbar spine and a moderate correlation with DXA T-score at the femoral neck; QUS has a very low sensitivity and concordance for the diagnosis of osteoporosis compared with spinal and femoral DXA in men.

Özet

Çalışmamızda erkeklerde kalkaneusda kantitatif ultrason (QUS) değerlerini lomber bölge ve proksimal femur dual enerji X-ray absorbsiyometri (DXA) sonuçları ile karşılaştırmayı amaçladık. Çalıştığımız altmışdört erkekte (yaş ortalamaları 52.47 + 16.51 yıl) lomber vertebra ve femur boynu kemik mineral yoğunluğu (KMY) T-değerleri kalkaneal QUS T-değerleri ile pozitif korelasyon göstermektedir (r=0.258, p<0.005 ve r=0.333, p<0.001). Kalkaneal QUS T-değerleri, spinal ve femoral DXA T-değerleri ile karşılaştırıldığında osteoporozun belirlenmesi için kappa uyum katsayısı sırasıyla 0.16 ve 0.27'dir. T-değeri için -2.5 kestrim değeri kullanıldığında QUS T-değerinin osteoporozun belirlenmesinde duyarlılık ve özgüllüğü lomber vertebra için %25 ve %96; femur boynu için %0 ve %91; ve total kalça için %25 ve %93'dür. Çalışmamızın sonucunda erkeklerde QUS T-değerlerinin lomber vertebra DXA T-değerleri ile zayıf, femur boynu DXA T-değerleri ile orta derecede korele olduğunu belirledik.Sonuç olarak, QUS T-değerleri erkeklerde osteoporoz teşriisi için spinal ve femoral DXA T-değerleri ile kıyaslandığında çok düşük duyarlılık ve uyum göstermektedir.
