Osteoporosis in patients referred for lung transplantation

Abstract: Objective Osteoporosis may significantly impair the final result of lung transplantation. The purpose of study is to determine the prevalence of osteoporosis with the regard to risk factors for osteoporosis in patients awaiting lung transplantation. Materials and methods We determined bone mineral density (BMD) in 48 patients (12 with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), 15 with other form idiopathic interstitial pneumonia (IIP), 5 with sarcoidosis and 16 with COPD) ref… Show more

“…The participants for most studies were predominantly male, excepting for five studies [31][32][33][34][35][36][37]. A high proportion of studies (92%) had participants whose mean age was ⩾60 years with the exception of 10 studies [33,34,[38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45]. The remaining studies did not report the age of the participants.…”

“…With reference to disease severity [18][19][20], 51% of studies reported on participants with moderate disease severity, 37% were on participants with mild disease while only 4% of studies included participants with severe disease [33,[40][41][42]55] (table 1 and supplementary material S8).…”

“…25-50 Of those, 20 studies showed a significant relationship with mortality on the waiting list, with the vast majority (14 studies) using a hazard ratio to calculate mortality risk with the 6MWT distance (6MWD). 25-44 Seven studies examined the relationship of the 6MWT with mortality or survival posttransplant‚ 14,27,30,47,51-53 with 3 studies showing that a lower 6MWD is associated with this outcome. 27,51,52 Five studies examined the relationship of the 6MWT with QOL, 46,54-57 with 3 studies showing some relationship with QOL pretransplant.…”

“…In der 6–18 monatigen Nachbeobachtungsphase erhöhte sich diese Prävalenz auf über 50 % [ 56 ]. Mehr als 60 % der PatientInnen mit end-stage Lungenerkrankungen haben eine herabgesetzte Knochendichte [ 57 , 58 ]. Risikofaktoren für einen Knochenverlust vor der Transplantation sind Alter, die Diagnose COPD, intermittierende oder kontinuierliche Steroidtherapie, Nikotinabusus, sowie Verlust an Körpergewicht und Muskelmasse (pulmonale Kachexie) durch zunehmende körperliche Dekonditionierung [ 59 ].…”
