ODP097 Hyperparathyroidism as a major risk factor of fracture and its prevalence in patients with hip fracture
Abstract
Abstract Introduction Hyperparathyroidism is a risk factor of osteoporosis. Excess parathyroid hormone (PTH) accelerates bone loss via bone reabsorption and increases the risk of fragility fracture. Fragility fractures are associated with serious consequences in older patients. [1] This study aimed to look at the prevalence of hyperparathyroidism and vitamin D deficiency in geriatric patients (age >60) who presented with hip fractures in an Irish tertiary hospital. Methods Data was collected from Irish hip fracture Database (IHFD) and the Ortho-geriatric Electronic Patient Medical System (EPMS) between July 2019 and April 2020 (n=207). Demographic data and bone health profile (PTH, Vitamin D, and Calcium) were analysed using SPSS for statistical analysis. Results The median age of patients was 81 years (SD 8.7), and 68.3% of patients were female. Median 10-year probability of major osteoporotic and hip fracture risk is 22.5% and 12.2%, respectively. 29.9% was diagnosed with hyperparathyroidism with prevalence of primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism of 6.7% and 23.1%, respectively. The majority of these (87.3%) were normocalcaemic hyperparathyroidism. 50.7% were vitamin D deficient, with 11.5% being severely deficient (Vitamin D <20nmol/L). Conclusion The prevalence of hyperparathyroidism is higher in the hip fracture group than in the general population. [2] Vitamin D deficiency is also prevalent in this group. FRAX score indicated significant proportion of patients…
