摘要
Aim: Patients with primary biliary cirrhosis may be at increased risk of osteoporosis but to what extent this is reflected in an increased fracture risk is unknown. We have enquired about the fracture experience of female primary biliary cirrhosis patients compared with sex- and age-matched controls. Methods: Patients aged 30-75 with primary biliary cirrhosis and age-matched controls were sent a postal questionnaire asking about their fracture history and details of risk factors for osteoporosis. Results: 85 eligible patients with primary biliary cirrhosis and 116 controls responded. Forty-one per cent of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis and 30% of controls reported ever having had a fracture odds ratio 1.5 (95% confidence interval: 0.80-2.89). Twenty-eight per cent of primary biliary cirrhosis patients and 23.3% of controls reported a fracture after the age of 30, odds ratio 1.2 (95% confidence interval: 0.57-2.56), and 14.1% of primary biliary cirrhosis patients and 12.1% of controls reported a low impact fracture of the long bones or of the vertebrae odds ratio 1.0 (95% confidence interval: 0.31-2.68). Conclusions: No overall increased fracture risk in patients with primary biliary cirrhosis was observed. As a group, unselected patients with primary biliary cirrhosis do not represent a population at particularly high risk of osteoporotic fracture and thus targeting them for osteoporosis screening and treatment is not justified. Further work investigating subgroups of patients with primary biliary cirrhosis at potentially high risk of osteoporosis, such as those with advanced disease or severe cholestasis is required.
