The International Society for Clinical Densitometry (ISCD) periodically convenes Position Development Conferences (PDCs) in order to establish standards and guidelines for the assessment of skeletal health. The most recent Adult PDC was held July 20-22, 2007, in Lansdowne, Virginia, USA; the first Pediatric PDC was June 20-21, 2007 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. PDC topics were selected according to clinical relevancy, perceived need for standardization, and likelihood of achieving agreement. Each topic area was assigned to a task force for a comprehensive review of the scientific literature. The findings of the review and recommendations were presented to adult and pediatric international panels of experts. The panels voted on the appropriateness, necessity, quality of the evidence, strength, and applicability (worldwide or variable according to local requirements) of each recommendation. Those recommendations that were approved by the ISCD Board of Directors become Official Positions. This is a review of the methodology of the PDCs and selected ISCD Official Positions.
国际临床骨密度测量学会（ISCD）定期召开立场发展会议（PDC），以制定骨骼健康评估的标准和指南。最近一次成人PDC于2007年7月20日至22日在美国弗吉尼亚州兰斯多恩举行；第一次儿科PDC于2007年6月20日至21日在加拿大魁北克省蒙特利尔举行。PDC的主题是根据临床相关性、标准化的实际需求以及达成共识的可能性来选定的。每个主题领域都被分配给一个特别工作组，对科学文献进行全面审查。审查结果和建议提交给成人及儿科国际专家小组。专家小组就每项建议的适当性、必要性、证据质量、强度以及适用性（全球范围或根据当地要求而定）进行投票。那些经ISCD董事会批准的建议成为官方立场。本文是对PDC方法及部分ISCD官方立场的综述。
