Abstract

Fractures due to osteoporosis in geriatric patients are one of the most important causes of morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to determine bone density and its correlation with osteoporotic fractures in a group of geriatric patients admitted to our hospital. The records of the patients 65 years old and over who were admitted to our Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation polyclinics with the demand of bone mineral dansitometric measurements were assessed. Bone mineral dansitometric measurements, fractures, menopause age for female patients, osteoporosis drugs, diseases and problems with fall risk were assessed. The mean age of 77 geriatric patients was 71.6 ± 4.57 years. 63 of them were female(81.8%) and 14 of them were male(18.2 %).The mean menopause age was 45. 31± 5.62. In our study, the mean bone mineral dansity of patients was found 1.0160 ± 0.1930 and 0.6047± 0.145 gr/cm2 for L2-4 and femur wards respectively. Thirty-eight of the assessed geriatric patients (49.4%) were osteoporotic, 32 of them(41.6 %) were osteopenic. Eleven out of 77 geriatric patients in our study have had a fracture history. Seven of the patients withfracture history were found to be osteoporotic and 3 of them were osteopenic.In the final analysis of this research, we have determined that approximately half of the geriatric population are osteoporotic and that both osteoporosis and ostepenia result in, to a great extend, fractures. Thus, we have concluded that it would be appropriate that these findings should be taken into consideration and medical and rehabilitation methods should be given importance when assessing the geriatric patients.

Özet

Osteoporoz ve osteoporoza bağlı kırıklar geriatrik dönemin ciddi morbidite ve mortalite nedenlerindendir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, hastanemize başvuran geriatrik hastaların kemik mineral yoğunluklarını belirlemek ve osteoporotik kırıklarla ilişkisini saptamaktır. Fiziksel Tıp ve Rehabilitasyon polikliniğimizden yapılmış olan Kemik Mineral Yoğunluğu ölçümü istemiyle başvuran 65 yaş ve üzeri hastaların dosyaları tarandı. Kemik mikozal yoğunluğu ölçümleri, kırıkları, kadın hastaların menapoz yaşı, osteoporoz ilaçları ve düşme için risk oluşturan hastalık ve problemleri değerlendirildi. Altmışüçü (%81.8) kadın ve 14’ü (%18.2) erkek olan 77 geriatrik hastanın ortalama yaşları 71.6± 4.37 idi. Ortalama menapoz yaşı ise 45.31±5.62 idi. Çalışmamızdaki geriatrik hastaların ortalama kemik mineral yoğunlukları, L2-4 ve femur wards bölgeleri için sırası ile; 1.0160±0.1930 gr/cm2 ve 0.6047±0.1450 gr/cm2 bulundu. Hastaların 38’i (%49.4) osteoporotik, 32’si (%41.6) osteopenikti. Hastaların 11’inde (% 14.3) geçirilmiş kırık vardı. Kırık öyküsü olan hastaların yedisi osteoporotik ve üçü osteopenik bulundu. Çalışma sonucunda, geriatrik populasyonun yaklaşık yarısının osteoporotik olduğunu ve hem osteoporoz hem de osteopeninin, oldukça büyük bir oranda kırıkla sonuçlandığını saptadık. Geriatrik olgular değerlendirilirken bu durumun göz önünde bulundurulması, uygun medikal tedavi ve rehabilitasyon yöntemlerine önem verilmesi gerektiği sonucuna vardık
