Risk Factors, Screening, Diagnosis, and Treatment of Osteoporosis in HIV-Infected Adults in an HIV Primary Care Clinic.
Background: The population of people living with HIV is aging, and with aging come emergent comorbidities, including osteoporosis, for which screening and treatment are becoming increasingly important. Osteoporosis prevalence among those living with HIV is 3 times greater than among HIV-uninfected controls.
Objective: To assess and describe osteoporosis risk factors, screening, diagnosis, and treatment for people 50 years of age or older living with HIV and receiving care at a multidisciplinary HIV primary care clinic.
Methods: A retrospective chart review of people 50 years of age or older living with HIV was conducted at the John Ruedy Clinic in Vancouver, British Columbia, between June 1, 2016, and June 1, 2019. Patients who had had fewer than 2 yearly follow-up appointments were excluded.
Results: A total of 146 patients were included in the analysis; most were male (n = 134, 92%), and the median age was 55 years. Patients had a median of 3 osteoporosis risk factors (in addition to age and HIV infection), and 145 patients had at least 1 risk factor. All screening for osteoporosis was conducted by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Thirty-nine (27%) of the patients were screened with DXA, 92 (63%) were not screened, and 15 (10%) already had a diagnosis of osteoporosis. The DXA screening identified osteoporosis in an additional 10 patients and osteopenia in 22 patients. Treatments for patients with osteoporosis included bisphosphonates (n = 15, 60%) and vitamin D or calcium (or both), without any other medications (n = 4, 16%). In the overall study population, 32 (22%) of the patients were taking calcium and 46 (32%) were taking vitamin D.
Conclusions: Many patients aged 50 years or older and receiving HIV care at the John Ruedy Clinic had or were at risk for osteoporosis. An opportunity exists to increase screening and treatment of these individuals. A multidisciplinary team may be crucial in achieving this goal.
