Presence of Reticulin Fibrosis and Osteosclerosis Are Associated with Decreased Diagnosis of Osteopenia and Osteoporosis By Dexa Scan in Myelofibrosis Patients Following Stem Cell Transplant.

Key Points

• Decreased diagnoses of osteopenia and osteoporosis are linked to the presence of reticulin fibrosis and osteosclerosis.
• Exactly 60% of the myelofibrosis patients displayed reduced osteoporosis and osteopenia identification through dexascan.
• The study employed an observational analysis of myelofibrosis patients post-stem cell transplant using clinical imaging data.
• These findings suggest that reticulin fibrosis and osteosclerosis may complicate accurate osteoporosis assessment post-transplant.
