Details and patient eligibility

About

To assess the frequency and risk factors of decreased bone mineral density (BMD) and vertebral fractures in Danish patients with sarcoidosis.

Full description

An increased risk of bone fracture has been found in patients with sarcoidosis. Some data showed that the risk of fracture was limited to patients treated with glucocorticoid but data are conflicting and not all studies can prove an increased risk of fracture or bone mineral loss in sarcoidosis.

Enrollment: 144 patients
