Assessment of osteoporosis by quantitative ultrasound versus dual energy X-ray absorptiometry in children with chronic rheumatic diseases.
Abstract
To evaluate the validity of quantitative ultrasound bone sonometry (QUBS) as a screening tool for the diagnosis of osteoporosis in children with chronic rheumatic diseases (CRD), compared to the conventional dual energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).Forty children with CRD [32 with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), 6 with systemic lupus erythematosus, and 2 with dermatomyositis] aged 9.9 +/- 4.3 years, were evaluated by QUBS of radius and tibia...
