Patients with inflammatory bowel disease frequently do not participate in structured programs with modern guidelines to monitor for the high incidence of osteopenia and osteoporosis associated with the condition, Austrian clinicians have found.
Specialists at the First Department of Medicine/Gastroenterology, General Hospital, Wels, evaluated, in a routine clinical setting, examinations and prevention and treatment of osteoporosis among patients with inflammatory bowel disorder (IBD).
The study cohort was made up 154 consecutive patients with IBD, referred to two gastroenterologic units for scheduled follow-up examinations. Among the 91 men and 63 women, 36 patients had ulcerative colitis, 115 had Crohn’s disease, and 3 had indeterminate colitis. The patients were evaluated for any previous bone densitometry, as well as any prophylactic or therapeutic interventions among those who had low bone mineral density.
