RESUMO

BACKGROUND: Due to the demographic development and improved treatment options, the role of comorbidities is of increasing importance in the medical care of people with MS (pwMS). A higher risk of osteoporosis is well known in chronic autoimmune diseases, and is also described in MS. While there are several screening guidelines in the elderly or in patients with rheumatoid arthritis, there are no generally accepted recommendations when to perform bone mineral testing in pwMS under the age of 65 years. We aimed to determine risk factors of osteoporosis in pwMS and to develop a risk score which can be applied in daily clinical routine. METHODS: Densitometry (hip and lumbar spine) was performed in 159 pwMS aged ≤65 years and in 81 age- and sex-matched healthy controls (HC). Osteoporosis was defined according to WHO criteria as a bone density 2.5 standard deviation or more below the mean of young adults. Risk factors were identified by logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Osteoporosis occurred more frequently in postmenopausal pwMS and male pwMS as compared to HC. Besides age, sex, menopausal status in females, body-mass-index and smoking, a higher degree of disability - as assessed by the Expanded Disability Status Scale - was identified as MS specific risk factor for osteoporosis, whereas the cumulative glucocorticoid dose was not associated with osteoporosis risk. Based on these risk factors, we developed an MS-specific risk score which allows to estimate the individual probability of osteoporosis. CONCLUSION: This risk score enables individual screening recommendation for pwMS and, subsequently, early prevention of osteoporosis which probably should result in reduction of fractures and morbidity.
