This study aims to document the efficacy of zoledronic acid by comparing bone densities and markers of bone turnover, in patients with osteoporosis.
Bone mineral density (BMD) and urinary N-telopeptide, a marker of bone turnover, were compared before and after treatment with intravenous zoledronic acid.
52 participants had atleast two doses of zoledronic acid over 36 months. Significant increases in BMD were found in the spine (t=4.38, P<0.01) and decrease in bone turnover marker N-telopeptide (t=3.30, P=0.002). Small but significant correlations were determined between prior steroid use and change in BMD in the spine (r=0.35, P<0.05), and family history of osteoporosis and change in BMD in the right femur (r=0.38, P<0.05).
Annual infusions of zoledronic acid for at least two years, revealed a significant increase in bone density at the spine and a decrease in urinary N-telopeptide in patients treated at our center.
本研究旨在通过比较骨质疏松症患者的骨密度和骨转换标志物,来记录唑来膦酸的疗效。
比较静脉注射唑来膦酸治疗前后的骨矿物质密度(BMD)和骨转换标志物尿N-端肽。
52名参与者在36个月内至少接受了两剂唑来膦酸治疗。脊柱骨密度显著增加(t = 4.38,P < 0.01),骨转换标志物N-端肽降低(t = 3.30,P = 0.002)。既往使用类固醇与脊柱骨密度变化之间存在小但显著的相关性(r = 0.35,P < 0.05),骨质疏松家族史与右股骨骨密度变化之间也存在相关性(r = 0.38,P < 0.05)。
在我们中心接受治疗的患者中,每年输注唑来膦酸至少两年,可使脊柱骨密度显著增加,尿N-端肽降低。
