Revisiting the radiographic assessment of osteoporosis-Osteopenia in children 0-2 years of age. A systematic review.

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND:Imaging for osteoporosis has two major aims, first, to identify the presence of low bone mass (osteopenia), and second, to quantify bone mass using semiquantitative (conventional radiography) or quantitative (densitometry) methods. In young children, densitometry is hampered by the lack of reference values, and high-quality radiographs still play a role although the evaluation of osteopenia as a marker for osteoporosis is subjective and based on personal experience. Medical experts questioned in court over child abuse, often refer to the literature and state that 20-40% loss of bone mass is warranted before osteopenia becomes evident on radiographs. In our systematic review, we aimed at identifying evidence underpinning this statement. A secondary outcome was identifying normal references for cortical thickness of the skeleton in infants born term, < 2 years of age. METHODS:We undertook systematic searches in Medline, Embase and Svemed+, covering 1946-2020. Unpublished material was searched in Clinical trials and International Clinical Trials Registry Platform (ICTRP). Both relevant subject headings and free text words were used for the following concepts: osteoporosis or osteopenia, radiography, children up to 6 years. RESULTS:A total 5592 publications were identified, of which none met the inclusion criteria for the primary outcome; the degree of bone loss warranted before osteopenia becomes visible radiographically. As for the secondary outcome, 21 studies were identified. None of the studies was true population based and none covered the pre-defined age range from 0-2 years. However, four studies of which three having a crossectional and one a longitudinal design, included newborns while one study included children 0-2 years. CONCLUSIONS:Despite an extensive literature search, we did not find any studies supporting the assumption that a 20-40% bone loss is required before osteopenia becomes visible on radiographs. Reference values for cortical thickness were sparse. Further studies addressing this important topic are warranted.

Project description:BackgroundUnderstanding the determinants of children's health behaviours is important to develop successful behaviour-change interventions.ObjectiveWe aimed to synthesise the evidence around determinants ('preceding predictors') of change in physical activity (PA) in young children (0-6 years of age).MethodsAs part of a suite of reviews, prospective quantitative studies investigating change in physical activity in children aged 0-6 years were identified from eight databases (to October 2015): MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Web of Knowledge, British Nursing Index, Applied Social Sciences Index and Abstracts, and Sociological Abstracts. Determinants and direction of association were extracted, described and synthesised according to the socio-ecological model (individual, interpersonal, organisational, community, policy).ResultsForty-four determinants, predominantly in the interpersonal and organisational domains, were reported across 44 papers (six prospective cohort, 38 interventional); 14 determinants were assessed in four or more papers. Parental monitoring showed a consistent positive association with change in PA; provider training was positively associated with change in children's moderate-to-vigorous PA only. Five (sex, parental goal setting, social support, motor skill training and increased time for PA) showed no clear association. A further seven (child knowledge, parental knowledge, parental motivation, parenting skills, parental self-efficacy, curriculum materials and portable equipment) were consistently not associated with change in children's PA. Maternal role-modelling was positively associated with change in PA in all three studies in which it was examined.ConclusionsA range of studied determinants of change in young children's PA were identified, but only parental monitoring was found to be consistently positively associated. More evidence dealing with community and policy domains from low-/middle-income countries and about lesser-explored modifiable family- and childcare-related determinants is required.

Project description:BackgroundAccurate accelerometer-based methods are required for assessment of 24-h physical behavior in young children. We aimed to summarize evidence on measurement properties of accelerometer-based methods for assessing 24-h physical behavior in young children.MethodsWe searched PubMed (MEDLINE) up to June 2021 for studies evaluating reliability or validity of accelerometer-based methods for assessing physical activity (PA), sedentary behavior (SB), or sleep in 0-5-year-olds. Studies using a subjective comparison measure or an accelerometer-based device that did not directly output time series data were excluded. We developed a Checklist for Assessing the Methodological Quality of studies using Accelerometer-based Methods (CAMQAM) inspired by COnsensus-based Standards for the selection of health Measurement INstruments (COSMIN).ResultsSixty-two studies were included, examining conventional cut-point-based methods or multi-parameter methods. For infants (0-12 months), several multi-parameter methods proved valid for classifying SB and PA. From three months of age, methods were valid for identifying sleep. In toddlers (1-3 years), cut-points appeared valid for distinguishing SB and light PA (LPA) from moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA). One multi-parameter method distinguished toddler specific SB. For sleep, no studies were found in toddlers. In preschoolers (3-5 years), valid hip and wrist cut-points for assessing SB, LPA, MVPA, and wrist cut-points for sleep were identified. Several multi-parameter methods proved valid for identifying SB, LPA, and MVPA, and sleep. Despite promising results of multi-parameter methods, few models were open-source. While most studies used a single device or axis to measure physical behavior, more promising results were found when combining data derived from different sensor placements or multiple axes.ConclusionsUp to age three, valid cut-points to assess 24-h physical behavior were lacking, while multi-parameter methods proved valid for distinguishing some waking behaviors. For preschoolers, valid cut-points and algorithms were identified for all physical behaviors. Overall, we recommend more high-quality studies evaluating 24-h accelerometer data from multiple sensor placements and axes for physical behavior assessment. Standardized protocols focusing on including well-defined physical behaviors in different settings representative for children's developmental stage are required. Using our CAMQAM checklist may further improve methodological study quality.Prospero registration numberCRD42020184751.

Project description:Abstract Background Psoriasis (Ps) is a multisystem inflammatory disease associated with several comorbidities; however, its effect on bone health remains uncertain. This systematic review aimed to evaluate the risks of osteopenia (OPe) and osteoporosis (OP) in psoriasis. Methods A systematic search was performed for published studies evaluating cutaneous Ps and psoriatic arthritis (PsA) compared with healthy control groups utilizing a validated bone mineral density (BMD) assessment score. Meta‐analysis was performed using a random‐effects model; pooled estimates and their confidence intervals (CIs) were calculated. For analysis, Ps and PsA groups were combined due to the small number of studies. Results Twenty‐one studies were included for final analysis; three Ps only, 15 PsA and three both. There was a significant difference between psoriatic disease (combination Ps and PsA group) compared with controls relating to an association with OP/OPe, with an overall odds ratio (OR) of 1.71 (95% CI 1.07–2.74: p‐value = 0.026). The Ps group had significantly lower BMD than the control group at both the lumbar spine and femoral neck (mean difference −0.04; 95% CI −0.090 to 0.002 and −0.03; 95% CI −0.059 to 0.003 respectively). Conclusion Putative risks of OPe and OP in both Ps and PsA are supported but not confirmed. Significant heterogeneity of reported data limits definitive conclusions in this meta‐analysis. This review contributes to the further understanding of Ps as a multisystem disease and future management of potential comorbidities, but highlights key gaps in the literature. Further studies addressing standardised OP reporting, specific disease group characteristics comparing Ps with PsA, patient characteristics and medication use, are required in order to make more certain conclusions with greater clinical impact. This systematic review evaluates the risks of osteopenia and osteoporosis in psoriasis. We exclusively included studies with healthy control comparison groups and which used outcomes of validated bone quality assessment measures. Meta‐analysis was performed using a random‐effects model and pooled estimates and confidence intervals calculated. This review contributes to the further understanding of Ps as a multisystem disease and future management of potential comorbidities, but highlights key gaps in the literature. Further studies addressing standardized OP reporting, specific disease group characteristics comparing Ps with PsA, patient characteristics and medication use, are required in order to make more certain conclusions with greater clinical impact.
