Summary

Patients with diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) awaiting lung transplants commonly experience reduced bone mineral density (BMD). Lower BMI and Hispanic ethnicity were linked to osteoporosis risk in this DPLD patient group.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonary Medicine
  • Endocrinology
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Diffuse parenchymal lung disease (DPLD) impacts skeletal health, with limited research on bone status in patients awaiting lung transplantation.
  • Corticosteroid use and reduced pulmonary function/exercise capacity are potential contributors to bone loss in DPLD.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the prevalence of osteoporosis and osteopenia in patients with DPLD referred for lung transplantation.
  • To identify clinical factors associated with reduced bone mineral density (BMD) in this patient population.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective cohort study of 86 DPLD patients evaluated for lung transplantation.
  • Bone mineral density (BMD) measured using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) at lumbar spine, femoral neck, total hip, and radius.

  • Osteoporosis and osteopenia defined using World Health Organization (WHO) criteria.

    • Main Results:

    • Osteopenia was present in 57% and osteoporosis in 13% of DPLD patients.
    • Lower body mass index (BMI) and Hispanic ethnicity were independently associated with increased osteoporosis risk.
    • BMD at the femoral neck and hip showed a direct association with BMI, unaffected by corticosteroid use or pulmonary function.

    Conclusions:

    • Reduced BMD is common in DPLD patients referred for lung transplantation.
    • Lower BMD is associated with lower BMI; Hispanic ethnicity presents a higher osteoporosis risk.
    • Screening for osteoporosis and appropriate management are recommended for DPLD patients due to their elevated risk of bone loss.
