Routine bone scans appropriate for some premenopausal women.(Gynecology)
HARROGATE, ENGLAND -- Targeted use of bone densitometry in premenopausal women can identify a significant number of patients who would benefit from bone protection, a study has shown.
Of 301 premenopausal women referred to London's Queen Elizabeth Hospital during a 4-year period for dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) because of possible increased risk of osteoporosis, 41% had abnormal scans, reported said Elizabeth Koshy, M.D., in a presentation at the annual conference of the National Osteoporosis Society.
Premature menopause accounted for 43 (14%) of the patients referred for DXA. Of these, 37% had abnormal scans.
Steroid use accounted for 19% of the referrals, of which 47% of the scans were abnormal. Of the approximately 14% of referrals based on family history, 27% resulted in abnormal scan. Osteopenia or previous fracture was the primary or coexisting indication for 37 or 12% of the patients, and among these, 54% were abnormal. Amenorrhea was the impetus for 11 (3.7%) of the scans, and 64% of these were abnormal, reported Dr. Koshy of Imperial College London.
