متن کاملTime of Progression to Osteopenia/Osteoporosis in Chronically HIV-Infected Patients: Screening DXA Scan
BACKGROUND Algorithms for bone mineral density (BMD) management in HIV-infected patients are lacking. Our objective was to assess how often a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) scan should be performed by assessing time of progression to osteopenia/osteoporosis. METHODS All DXA scans performed between 2000 and 2009 from HIV-infected patients with at least two DXA were included. Time to an...
