To evaluate bone status of asthmatic children on chronic inhaled corticoid therapy.
Bone densitometry was performed by Quantitative ultrasound (QUS) of the distal radius in 74 asthmatic children, evaluating Z-score; serum levels of 25 hydroxyvitamin D were measured in 10 cases.
28 of 74 children had osteopenia, defined as Z scores lower than -1. Statistic analyzes showed a significant correlation (p <0.05) of osteopenia with the duration of inhaled corticoid therapy (CSI), the absence of correlation with the dose of CSI, age, sex, severity step and duration of the disease. 25 hydroxyvitamin D was low in 8 of the 10 cases with osteopenia. Osteopenia was present in 7 children who were not under CSI, but have received multiple trials of oral corticoids for severe exacerbations.
Osteopenia was present in 52% of children that were under inhaled corticoids for more than 12 months and it correlated with the duration of CSI, but not with the daily dose. Systemic corticoid use is a significant cause of osteopenia in asthmatic children.
评估接受慢性吸入性皮质激素治疗的哮喘儿童的骨骼状况。
对74名哮喘儿童进行桡骨远端定量超声(QUS)骨密度测量,评估Z值;对10例患儿测定血清25羟维生素D水平。
74名儿童中有28名存在骨质减少,定义为Z值低于-1。统计分析显示,骨质减少与吸入性皮质激素治疗时长(CSI)显著相关(p<0.05),与CSI剂量、年龄、性别、疾病严重程度分级及病程无关。10例骨质减少患儿中有8例25羟维生素D水平较低。7名未接受CSI但因严重发作多次接受口服皮质激素治疗的儿童存在骨质减少。
接受吸入性皮质激素治疗超过12个月的儿童中,52%存在骨质减少,且与CSI时长相关,但与每日剂量无关。全身性皮质激素的使用是哮喘儿童骨质减少的重要原因。
