Brief Summary: Osteoporotic vertebral fracture VF and osteonecrosis of the femoral head OFH are major concerns in patients with systemic rheumatic diseases treated with high-dose glucocorticoids GCs The investigators examined and compared the incidence and risk factors of VF with those of OFH in patients who had recently received high-dose GC therapy to clarify the relationship between these two complications
Detailed Description: Patients with rheumatic diseases receiving GCs 05 mgkgday for prednisolone equivalent within the past 2 months were enrolled in this study and treated with 200 mgday of etidronate cyclically The bone mineral density BMD of lumbar spines L2-4 was examined by QDR2000 OFH was evaluated by magnetic resonance imaging MRI ClinicalTrialsgov identifier NCT00679978

Forty-four patients completed the 2-year study including annual X-rays and the BMD analysis MRI evaluation at entry and 2 years was performed in 41 patients The BMD values with anteroposterior AP and lateral views decreased by 64 and 97 respectively in the first year but were stable in the second year Eleven patients developed VF and 9 patients developed OFH The risk factors for VF included previous VF and a low BMD value T score -15 of AP view at baseline with odds ratio OR 149 95CI 29-764 while the risk factor for OFH was the recent maximum GC dosage 12 mgkgday versus OR77 95CI 13-455 and the decrease in BMD value of lateral view 15 versus OR67 95 CI 12-361 in the first year
