Vascular calcifications, vertebral fractures and mortality in haemodialysis patients
BACKGROUND Vascular calcifications and the bone fractures caused by abnormal bone fragility, also called osteoporotic fractures, are frequent complications associated with chronic kidney diseases (CKD). The aim of this study was to investigate the association between vascular calcifications, osteoporotic bone fractures and survival in haemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS A total of 193 HD pat...
متن کاملVertebral Fractures and Mortality in Older Women
Results:Atbaseline,1915women(20.0%)werediagnosed as having vertebral fractures. Compared with women who did not have a vertebral fracture, women with 1 or more fractureshada1.23-foldgreaterage-adjustedmortality rate (95% confidence interval, 1.10-1.37). Mortality rose with greater numbers of vertebral fractures, from 19 per 1000 woman-years in women with no fractures to 44 per 1000 woman-years ...
متن کاملAssociation between abdominal aortic calcifications, bone mineral density and vertebral fractures in a cohort of HIV-positive patients
INTRODUCTION Evidence from HIV-negative cohorts suggests a link between osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease. We evaluated the presence and distribution of abdominal aortic calcifications (AAC) and its correlation with bone mineral density (BMD) and vertebral fractures (VF) in a cohort of HIV-positive patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this cross-sectional study, 280 asymptomatic HIV-posit...
متن کاملAnkle--brachial index, vascular calcifications and mortality in dialysis patients.
BACKGROUND The ankle-brachial index (ABI) is a noninvasive method to evaluate peripheral artery disease (PAD). ABI <0.9 diagnoses PAD; ABI >1.3 is a false negative caused by noncompressible arteries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between ABI with vascular calcifications (VC) and with mortality, in haemodialysis (HD) patients. METHODS We studied 219 HD patients (60% male...
متن کاملSubsequent vertebral fractures after vertebroplasty: association with intraosseous clefts.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Patients with vertebral fractures containing intraosseous clefts may represent a distinct subgroup of vertebroplasty patients, yet the development of subsequent vertebral fractures in this population has not been explored. We tested the hypothesis that after vertebroplasty for intraosseous clefts, subsequent fractures would occur earlier and more frequently than after tre...
