ABSTRACT
Aim: To determine the association between COPD and
osteoporosis in patients visiting to a tertiary care hospital.
Study design: Observational Case Control Study.
Place and duration: Chest Ward, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical
Centre, Karachi from 1st Jan 2018 to 31st Jan 2019.
Methods: Thirty five male patients of chronic
obstructive pulmonary diseasewas collected through registered out patients who
visit for the routine check-up of COPD and fulfill the inclusion criteria were
included in the study as cases and their relatives or attendant with no history
of COPD and FEVI/FVC ≥ 0.7 were included as control. Mineral Density will be
measured in cases and control by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry commonly
known as Dexa Scan. Two x-ray beams with differing energy levels are aimed at
the patient’s bones.
Results: Mean age in cases
and control were 61.57±6.69 and 53.97±7.08 years respectively. Mean FEVI in cases and control were 1.37±.49
and 2.17±0.45 respectively. In comparison of cases and control
significant association were found between COPD and osteoporosis i.e. (P=.004)
and odd ratio (7.11) with C.I (1.82-27.79).
Conclusion:There is a significant association between
COPD and osteoporosis. Prevalence and severity of osteoporosis increased with
the increase of COPD degree.
