[Proportion of individuals with indication criteria for bone densitometry and frequency of factors of risk of low osseous mass in primary care consultations]
Abstract
Objective: To find the number of individuals with indication for Bone Densitometry in Primary Care, according to the criteria of the WHO, the Agency for Evaluating Medical Technology of Catalonia (AETM) and the International Committee on Clinical Guides to Osteoporosis (CIGCO), and the frequency of factors of risk of low osseous mass.
Design: Multi-centre, prospective, transversal study.
Setting: Primary care consultations.
Participants: Patients over 18 (307 women and 139 men) with mean age of 54.3+/-16.8, who attended for consultation with an appointment.
Main measurements: Presence or absence of factors relating to each of the indication criteria for bone densitometry.
Results: A 36.3% of individuals had indication of densitometry under the AETM criteria, 76.7% with the WHO criteria, and 50.5% with the CIGCO criteria (applicable only to women). Percentages increased with age and were higher for women. Concordance between the various criteria was under 37%.
Conclusions: The percentage of individuals with indication for bone densitometry was highly variable under different criteria. It was greater in women and increased with age. Concordance between different criteria was low.
Objetivo: Conocer la proporción de individuos con indicación de densitometría ósea en atención primaria según las indicaciones de la Organización Mundial de la Salud (OMS), la Agencia de Evaluación de Tecnología Médica de Cataluña (AETM) y el Comité Internacional de Guías Clínicas en Osteoporosis (CIGCO), y la frecuencia de los factores de riesgo de baja masa ósea.
Diseño: Estudio multicéntrico, transversal y prospectivo.
Emplazamiento: Consultas de atención primaria.
Participantes: Pacientes mayores de 18 años (307 mujeres y 139 varones, de 54,3 ± 16,8 años de edad media) que acudieron a la consulta con visita programada.
Mediciones principales: Presencia o ausencia de los factores relacionados en cada uno de los criterios de indicación de densitometría ósea.
Resultados: La proporción de individuos con indicación de densitometría fue del 36,3% para los criterios de la AETM, del 76,7% para los criterios de la OMS, y del 50,5% para los criterios del CIGCO (aplicables sólo a mujeres). La proporción aumentó con la edad y fue mayor en el sexo femenino. La concordancia entre los diferentes criterios fue inferior al 37%.
Conclusiones: La proporción de individuos con indicación de densitometría ósea fue muy variable según el criterio utilizado. Fue mayor en el sexo femenino y aumentó con la edad. La concordancia entre los diferentes criterios fue baja.
