Abstract
- During treatment of childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) fracture incidence is increased. Studies using DXA, which measures a composite of both trabecular and cortical BMD, have shown reduced BMD during treatment. We investigated changes in compartmental (cortical and trabecular) volumetric BMD (vBMD) and bone geometry using peripheral quantitative computed tomography. These outcomes were also analysed in relation to adiposity and treatment factors. Thirty nine patients with ALL (64% male, median age 7.2 years (4.1-16.9)) were compared to 34 healthy controls (50% male, median age 9.1 years (4.4-18.7)). DXA-derived age-specific standard deviation scores (SDS) of the lumbar spine (LS) and femoral neck (FN) were reduced in subjects with ALL compared to controls (p ≤ 0.01). This persisted following adjustment for body size using height-specific SDS (LS -0.72 ± 1.02 vs -0.18 ± 0.72, p=0.01; FN -1.53 ± 0.96 vs -0.74 ± 0.74, p=0.001) and bone mineral apparent density (BMAD) SDS (LS -0.76 ± 1.14 vs 0.04 ± 1.08, p=0.01; FN -1.63 ± 1.38 vs -0.16 ± 1.20, p
