This study aimed to develop a method for improved prediction of hip fracture by incorporating measurements of bone microstructure and composition derived from high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT). In a prospective cohort study of 3028 community-dwelling women aged 75 to 80, all participants answered questionnaires and underwent baseline examinations of anthropometrics and bone by dual x-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and HR-pQCT. Medical records, a regional x-ray archive, and registers were used to identify incident fractures and death. Prediction models for hip, major osteoporotic fracture (MOF), and any fracture were developed using Cox proportional hazards regression and machine learning algorithms (neural network, random forest, ensemble, and XGBoost). In the 2856 (94.3%) women with complete HR-pQCT data at 2 tibia sites (distal and ultra-distal), the median follow-up period was 8.0 years, and 217 hip, 746 MOF, and 1008 any type of incident fracture occurred. In Cox regression models adjusted for age, BMI, clinical risk factors (CRF), and femoral neck bone mineral density (FN BMD) the strongest predictors of hip fracture were tibia total volumetric BMD and cortical thickness. The performance of the Cox regression-based prediction models for hip fracture was significantly improved by HR-pQCT (time-dependent AUC; area under receiver operating characteristic curve at 5 years of follow-up 0.75 [0.64-0.85]), compared to a reference model including CRFs and FN BMD (AUC = 0.71 [0.58-0.81], p<.001) and a FRAX risk score model (AUC = 0.70 [0.60-0.80], p<.001). The Cox regression model for hip fracture had a significantly higher accuracy than the neural network-based model, the best-performing machine learning algorithm, at clinically relevant sensitivity levels.

Japanese patients aged ≥40 years, diagnosed with osteoporosis or experienced a fragility fracture, were admitted to medical facilities covered by a commercial administrative claims database, and newly prescribed romosozumab or bisphosphonates after the commercialization of romosozumab in Japan (March 4, 2019) were included based on verification of a 180-day washout period. Cardiovascular disease (myocardial infarction or stroke) was identified based on information regarding diagnosis, medical procedures, and drug codes.

Of the 59 694 included prescriptions, 8808 were for romosozumab and 50 886 were for bisphosphonates.

Patients with CKD suffer from significantly elevated fracture risk due to abnormally high or low bone turnover, which requires diametrically opposite treatments informed by patient-specific bone turnover data. However, a reliable, accessible, non-invasive bone turnover assessment and monitoring tool remains an unmet clinical need. Combining time-lapse (TL) analysis with high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HR-pQCT) scans obtained over time allows for in vivo temporospatial bone remodeling assessment. This study aimed to evaluate the feasibility of applying TL HR-pQCT to assess and monitor local bone formation and resorption in patients with CKD. A customized TL HR-pQCT pipeline was developed on a second-generation HR-pQCT platform and optimized using ex vivo cadaveric phantom and in vivo scan-rescan HR-pQCT images. The annualized least significant change in bone formation and resorption were evaluated using in vivo longitudinal reproducibility images. Finally, the feasibility of the TL HR-pQCT pipeline in assessing and monitoring bone turnover was evaluated in patients with end stage kidney disease (ESKD; n = 9). We found that a 2-month time-lapse period was sufficient for the TL HR-pQCT pipeline to reliably assess and monitor local bone turnover in a cohort of patients with ESKD. We also demonstrated the importance of characterizing TL HR-pQCT precision metrics using longitudinal baseline/follow-up rather than short-term scan-rescan datasets. The TL HR-pQCT pipeline assessed a range of bone formation metrics consistent with the gold standard histomorphometric bone formation reported in the literature for patients with CKD and ESKD. Our findings highlight that TL HR-pQCT holds promise as a \"virtual bone biopsy\" that reliably assesses and monitors local bone turnover for CKD bone care. Subsequent work will focus on validating this TL HR-pQCT pipeline against the gold standard bone biopsy with quantitative histomorphometry.</p>","PeriodicalId":185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Bone and Mineral Research","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.1,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142982050","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this study was to evaluate cortical bone material behavior in T1D by examining specimens from cadaveric femora from older adults with long-duration T1D (≥50 yr; n = 20) and age- and sex-matched nondiabetic controls (n = 14). Cortical bone was assessed by mechanical testing (4-point bending, cyclic reference point indentation, impact microindentation), AGE quantification [total fluorescent AGEs, pentosidine, carboxymethyl lysine (CML)], and matrix composition via Raman spectroscopy. Cortical bone from older adults with T1D had diminished postyield toughness to fracture (-30%, p = .036), elevated levels of AGEs (pentosidine, +17%, p = .039), lower mineral crystallinity (-1.4%, p = .010), greater proline hydroxylation (+1.9%, p = .009), and reduced glycosaminoglycan (GAG) content (-1.3%, p < .03) compared to nondiabetics.
