Resumen
OLMO, J.A. et al. Risk of major osteoporotic or hip fracture in patients with cerebrovascular accident in the acute phase: multicentre prospective study. Rev Osteoporos Metab Miner [online]. 2014, vol.6, n.2, pp.40-45. ISSN 2173-2345. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1889-836X2014000200003.
Objetives: Hemiplegic patients are considered to be a population at risk of suffering osteoporotic fractures. The aim of this work is to understand the absolute risk of fragility fracture in patients with cerebrovascular accident (CVA) and the osteometabolic state of patients with ictus in the acute phase, as well as confirming if there are baseline differences compared to a control group without cerebrovascular pathology. Patients and method: Multicentre prospective study carried out in five Spanish hospitals. Two groups were established: a) patients with ictus of less than three months development, and b) a control group from a population without cerebrovascular disease. History of fragility fractures, number of falls in the previous year, bone mineral density (BMD) in the hip, FRAX® index, determinations of biochemistry and bone markers - calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, vitamin D, parathormone (PTH), and carboxy-terminal telopeptide of collagen type I (CTX) - were analysed. Results: A total of 82 patients were studied: 50 patients with CVA and 32 controls. 12% of those patients with CVA had an increased risk of suffering a hip fracture, and 8% an increased risk of a major osteoporotic fracture. In the control group the risk was greater. The hemiplegic patients had BMD in the hip lower than those in the control group, although the differences in both variables were not statistically significant. The levels of CTX were higher in patients with CVA, this being the sole determination which showed a statistical difference between the two groups studied. Conclusions: The patients with CVA had values of markers for bone resorption (CTX) significantly higher and a BMD in the hip lower than those in the control group.
