    © 2015, Medical Association of Thailand. All right reserved. A prospective study was conducted among osteoporotic hip fracture in 2008. It was aimed to assess cost per quality adjusted life year (QALY) of hip fracture in the context of a developing... country. The patients who were diagnosed as hip fracture and admitted to the orthopedic wards were included. Any pathological fractures or missing data were discarded from the analysis. Median cost was evaluated from a societal perspective. EQ-5D was used

    This study assessed the cost utility of medications used to prevent recurrent bone fractures among post-menopausal osteoporotic Thai women with a history of fractures. Economic evaluation was conducted using the Markov model-based cost-utility... analysis approach under the societal perspective. Women age 50 and over with bone mass density T-score of less than or equal to 2.5 standard deviations and a history of fractures were included in the model, with a 1-year cycle length, until deceased

    in postmenopausal Thai women. Material and Method: A prospective study was conducted at Ramathibodi Hospital between July 2005 and July 2006. Postmenopausal Thai women, aged more than 55 years and had sustained osteoporotic hip fracture, were included. Exclusion.... Conclusion: It could be concluded that a G2014A SNP genotype in exon 8 of the estrogen receptor was associated with postmenopausal women who had osteoporotic hip fracture.

    Thiazolidenediones (TZD) have been reported to lead to non-vertebral bone loss in postmenopausal women with diabetes, but the true incidence of vertebral fractures has been under-detected because two-thirds of vertebral fractures are silent. TZD... of vertebral fractures and low vitamin D status in postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes. A group of 102 postmenopausal women with type 2 diabetes, 52 TZD users for at least 12 months, and 50 non-TZD users were enrolled in the study. Any data regarding

    (BMI)-matched HIV-uninfected men aged ≥60 years. We investigated the associations of risk factors related to fracture with BMD, TBS, and bone markers in HIV-infected men. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 45 HIV-infected men receiving... (total hip, P = .042; and TBS, P = .010), and low vitamin D supplementation (TBS, P = .035) were independently associated with low BMD and TBS. Conclusion: In older HIV-infected men with a low fracture risk, the mean BMD and TBS were similar to those

    © JOURNAL OF THE MEDICAL ASSOCIATION OF THAILAND | 2020. Background: When compared to people without type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), people with T2DM have an increase in fracture risk despite having higher bone mineral density (BMD). Many studies... in Caucasians demonstrated that trabecular bone score (TBS) is lower in people with T2DM than those without. The utility of TBS as a fracture risk assessment tool in Asians with T2DM is currently unclear. Objective: To compared lumbar spine (LS) BMD and TBS
