Abstract

Background: Fracture risk in non-radiographic spondyloarthritis is underestimated. A reliable tool such as the Fracture Risk Assessment tool (FRAX) may assess this risk probability. This study aimed to assess the fracture risk by the FRAX score in patients with nr-axSpA and to determine factors associated with high fracture risk.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of nr-axSpA patients meeting the Assessment of SpondyloArthritis International Society (ASAS) classification criteria for spondyloarthritis. All patients had Bone Mineral Density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). The 10- year probability of major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture (HF) was calculated using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX).

Results: Among 40 patients with nr-axSpA, 27 were women (67.5%). Their mean age was 43.7 ± 12.1 years. The mean disease duration was 3.15 ± 2.7 years. Eighteen patients (45%) had osteopenia, and 12 patients (30%) had osteoporosis. The median HF FRAX was 0% [0-1.2]. The median MOF FRAX was 0.5% [0.3-1.8]. MOF FRAX was positively correlated with age (p = 0.002), disease onset age (p = 0.006), disease duration (p = 0.024), and the modified Stoke Ankylosing Spondylitis Spine Score (mSASSS) (p < 0.0001), and negatively correlated with daily calcium intake (p < 0.0001). HF FRAX was positively correlated with mSASSS (p < 0.0001) and negatively correlated with daily calcium intake (p = 0.005).

Conclusion: Our study confirmed the frequency of bone loss during nr-axSpA and showed that osteoporotic risk fracture was related not only to traditional risk factors for osteoporosis but also to disease-related factors.
