Correlation between the osteoporosis self-assessment tool for Asians index and QCT-derived bone parameters: a cross-sectional analysis of lumbar spine mineral density and content

Key Points

Low lumbar bone mineral density (BMD) and bone mineral content (BMC) can be identified using the OSTA index.
In men, the diagnostic threshold for osteoporosis is a lumbar QCT-BMC of <663.86 mg, while for women it's <521.65 mg.
Conducted a cross-sectional analysis focusing on the correlation between the OSTA index and QCT-derived measurements.
Highlights the potential of the OSTA index for screening high-risk patients before spinal surgery.

Abstract

As a screening tool, the OSTA index can help identify high-risk individuals undergoing spinal surgery who are likely to have low lumbar trabecular BMD and BMC as measured by QCT. Diagnostic thresholds for osteoporosis may be set at lumbar QCT-BMC <663.86 mg in men or <521.65 mg in women.
