Abstract

discordance is defined as having a BMD result that is in the osteoporotic range at one site while being normal or osteopenic at the other sites (according to the WHO criteria). This study was conducted to assess Prevalence of discordance between different skeletal sites in patients' referred to the BMD center of Shariati hospital during 1379-1382. A cross sectional study was carried out on 4229 patients referring to the BMD center of Shariati hospital during 3 years. Data including demographic information, risk factors, physical examination (height and weight) was collected. Dual- energy X-ray absorptiometry was performed on all cases. BMD results were defined according to the WHO diagnostic criteria. Data was collected from 4229 individuals (91.8% female and 8.2% male) with a mean age of 53.44±11 years. Major discordance, minor discordance and concordance were seen in 2.7, 38.9 and 58.3% of the study population respectively. There was no association between age and incidence of discordance in the BMD results (P=0.009) yet the mean age grew along with the rate of discordance (P<0.001). Discordance was associated with menopause (P<0.001) and also with the number of years past menopause (P<0.001). The high prevalence of discordance may lead to problems in clarifying the BMD results, thus criticizing the validity of this method therefore further study on more reliable densitometry criteria should be carried out. In all prospective studies are required in order to determine the importance of discordance in the prognosis and future risk of fracture in patients.
