摘要

Aim: To evaluate the current use of bone densitometry and agents to prevent glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. In 2004 we undertook a similar audit which showed poor adherence, and problems highlighted during that audit were lack of awareness and no access to public dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) facilities. Staff awareness was increased by local presentations and arrangements were made to have access to DEXA scans. This 2009 re-audit was carried out in order to establish what improvements in care had occurred in the intervening 4 years. Methods: A chart review was conducted for all patients seen in rheumatology outpatient departments, for a period of 8 weeks. Patients, prescribed any individual dose of glucocorticoids for more than 3 months, were identified and their medical records were audited. Results: Only 3.58% of patients were identified taking glucocorticoids for more than 3 months, versus 6% in 2004. In the over 65 years age group, none had a DEXA scan and 95% were on appropriate prophylaxis, versus 67% in 2004. In the under 65 years group, none had a pathological fracture history; only 38% of patients had a DEXA scan and were on appropriate treatment, versus none in 2004. Only 29.4% of patients were prescribed steroids for inflammatory joint disease, versus 61.7% in 2004. Overall, 74% of patients were appropriately managed as per recommended guidelines versus only 26% in 2004. Conclusion: A major improvement was noted in the management of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis; however, service deficiencies tend to persist.
