BODE INDEX AND THE RISK OF OSTEOPOROTIC FRACTURES IN CHRONIC OBSTRUCTIVE PULMONARY DISEASE PATIENTS

Abstract

The goal of the study: to define theoretic correlation between BODE index in men with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and risk of osteoporotic fractures assessed as per bone mineral density and FRAX integral rate.Materials and methods. 125 men suffering from COPD smoking for a long period of time (the smoker index of 240 and time of smoking (packs/years) of 40) were included into the study. 10 year risk of osteoporotic fractures was assessed by FRAX software. The respiratory function was evaluated by the multi-module unit of MasterLab/Jaeger type. BODE index was defined in the patients.Results. The minimum level of BODE was observed in those suffering from COPD of the 2nd stage – 2.23 ± 0.88. In case of the 3rd stage of COPD BODE made 5.05 ± 1.19, in the 4th stage of COPD it made 7.0 ± 1.0. The maximum risk of fractures was detected in the patients of the 4th stage of COPD. The minimum risk of fractures was diagnosed in the patients of the 2nd stage of COPD. The confident correlations were found between BODE and bone mineral density (r = -0.71, p < 0.005), as well as confident correlations between BODE and the risk of fractures (r = -0.54, p < 0.05). Conclusions. The correlation has been found between BODE index and the risk of fractures.
