چکیده
Methods Study cohort comprised 50 patients with JIA (34 girls, median age 12.7 and range 7.4-17.4 years, median disease duration 6.3 and range 2.0-15.1 years) previously exposed to systemic glucocorticoids for a minimum of three months (range 0.2-12.5 years). Study protocol included clinical examination, bone age determination, BMD and body composition measurements with dual X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), and assessment of fasting serum leptin and adiponectin. Comparison with ageand gendermatched healthy controls (n=88) was performed.

متن کاملBone health assessment of patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a comparison between DXA and bonexpert
Introduction Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) affects bone mineral density (BMD) due to chronic inflammation, glucocorticoid treatment and immobilization. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is most widely used to determine BMD. BoneXpert is a new, feasible and reproducible method for automatic determination of cortical BMD on hand radiographs. Moreover radiation exposure is low and in lo...
متن کاملAutomated determination of bone age and bone mineral density in patients with juvenile idiopathic arthritis: a feasibility study
INTRODUCTION Chronic inflammation combined with glucocorticoid treatment and immobilization puts juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) patients at risk of impaired growth and reduced bone mineral density (BMD). Conventional methods for evaluating bone age and BMD are time-consuming or come with additional costs and radiation exposure. In addition, an automated measurement of bone age and BMD is l...
