Abstract
This study aimed to evaluate the correlation between measuring proton-density fat fraction (PDFF) in bone marrow using multi-echo chemical shift-encoded MRI and osteoporosis, assessing its effectiveness as a biomarker for osteoporosis. A systematic review was conducted by two independent researchers using Cochrane, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases up to December 2023. Quality assessments were evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) checklist. Fourteen studies involving 1495 patients were analyzed. The meta-analysis revealed a significant difference in PDFF values between the osteoporosis/osteopenia group and the normal control group, with a mean difference of 11.04 (95% CI: 9.17 to 12.92, Z=11.52, P < 0.00001). Measuring PDFF via MRI shows potential as an osteoporosis biomarker and may serve as a risk factor for osteoporosis. This insight opens new avenues for future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, potentially improving osteoporosis management and patient care.
Objective: This study aims to assess the correlation between measuring proton-density fat fraction (PDFF) in bone marrow using multi-echo chemical shift-encoded MRI and osteoporosis, evaluating its effectiveness as a biomarker for osteoporosis.
Materials and methods: This systematic review was carried out by two independent researchers using Cochrane, PubMed, EMBASE, and Web of Science databases up to December 2023. Quality assessments were evaluated using the Cochrane risk of bias tool and the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) checklist.
Results: Fourteen studies involving 1495 patients were analyzed. The meta-analysis revealed a significant difference in PDFF values between the osteoporosis/osteopenia group and the normal control group, with a (MD = 11.04, 95% CI: 9.17 to 12.92, Z = 11.52, P < 0.00001). Subgroup analyses indicated that diagnostic methods, gender, and echo length did not significantly impact the PDFF-osteoporosis association.
Conclusion: PDFF measurement via MRI shows potential as an osteoporosis biomarker and may serve as a risk factor for osteoporosis. This insight opens new avenues for future diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, potentially improving osteoporosis management and patient care.
期刊介绍:
An international multi-disciplinary journal which is a joint initiative between the International Osteoporosis Foundation and the National Osteoporosis Foundation of the USA, Osteoporosis International provides a forum for the communication and exchange of current ideas concerning the diagnosis, prevention, treatment and management of osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases.
It publishes: original papers - reporting progress and results in all areas of osteoporosis and its related fields; review articles - reflecting the present state of knowledge in special areas of summarizing limited themes in which discussion has led to clearly defined conclusions; educational articles - giving information on the progress of a topic of particular interest; case reports - of uncommon or interesting presentations of the condition.
While focusing on clinical research, the Journal will also accept submissions on more basic aspects of research, where they are considered by the editors to be relevant to the human disease spectrum.
