A Prospective Baseline Assessment of the Risk of Osteoporosis in Patients With Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease and Outcomes After 2 Years; a Pilot Study
In Brief
An observational study for Osteoporosis and Obstructive Lung Disease. Completed, enrolled 30 participants across 3 sites.
Detailed Summary
This project will examine the current diagnosis and treatment of bone health in patients with obstructive airway disease. Patients will be referred to The Osteoporosis Centre of BC (OCBC) by their respirologist to be assessed for osteoporosis including Dual Energy Xray Absorptiometry (DXA) scan. Previous chest xrays and will be accessed and examined for vertebral fractures, diagnostic of osteoporosis. The lung and bone data will be entered into a database. This will allow us to explore the relationship of lung disease parameters to osteoporosis predictors, eventually determining a respirology patient population who are at high risk of fracture. Longitudinal evaluation of bone health and its relationship to respiratory parameters over time will be explored by follow-up evaluations at 12 and 24 months.
