Analysis of bone mineral density measurement in outpatients over 50 years old in a third class hospital
Objective To Understand the bone density measurements of outpatient patients over aged 50 years old in various departments of the hospital.Methods A total of 2 772 patients over 50 years old who underwent bone density testing at the Army Medical University Daping Hospital from January to December 2019 were selected,and the bone density measurements in different departments,genders,body mass index(BMI)patients,and different parts of the body were compared.Results 76.33%(2 116/2 772)of patients came from osteoporosis and bone development outpatient department,spinal surgery,pain department,and joint and limb surgery.The difference in bone density detection rates among different departments was statis-tically significant(P<0.05).The bone density detection rate in women aged ≥65[1.49%(1 004/67 249)]was significantly higher than that in men aged ≥70[0.29%(107/36 909)],and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The differences in bone density detection rates between patients of different genders in different departments were statistically significant(P<0.05).The differences in bone density measurements among different parts of the body were statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Among the 2 772 pa-tients,the detection rate of osteoporosis was 32.03%(888/2 772).Among them,the detection rate of osteopo-rosis in females[33.35%(835/2 504)]was significantly higher than that in males[19.78%(53/268)],and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05).The differences in bone density measurements among pa-tients with different BMI were statistically significant differences(P<0.001).Conclusion The clinical de-partments do not attach enough importance to osteoporosis,and the overall bone density detection rate is rela-tively low.Establishing osteoporosis clinics and promoting knowledge about osteoporosis can help improve the diagnosis and treatment level of the disease.In addition,it is necessary to strengthen attention to male osteo-porosis.
