骨质疏松症的筛查

Screening for osteoporosis

骨质疏松症是一种最常见的骨骼疾病,其患病率随年龄的增加而显著增高。在人口老龄化现象突出的当今社会,其对个人健康、家庭负担和社会资源消耗的影响达到了令人震惊的地步。由于各种原因,骨质疏松症并未得到临床医生足够的重视,其在临床上漏诊、误诊现象突出。加强骨质疏松症的筛查,早期、及时发现骨质疏松症患者具有十分重要的临床价值。临床上应该首先根据国内外骨质疏松症临床诊治的相关指南意见和患者的具体表现,确定骨质疏松症筛查对象。其次,临床医生需熟悉骨质疏松症的各种筛查方法,合理评估筛查结果,对骨质疏松症进行确诊。再次,由于骨质疏松症临床表现的多样化,导致患者可能就诊于各个临床科室,临床各科医生都应该成为骨质疏松症筛查的主体,肩负起筛查骨质疏松症的责任,全面保障患者健康。

Osteoporosis is the most common skeleton disease, whose morbidity rate increases significantly with age. In today＇s society with predominant phenomenon of aging, the influence of osteoporosis in personal health, family burden and consumption of social resources is shocking. Osteoporosis didn＇t get sufficient attention from clinical doctors because of various kinds of reasons, and it was miss-diagnosed prominently in clinical practice. It was of extremely impor- tant value to find patients of osteoporosis early and in time from emphasizing screening. In clinical practice, doctors should firstly determine the screening objects of osteoporosis, according to the guidelines at home and abroad as well as the patient＇s clinical manifestation. Secondly, doctors should be familiar with all kinds of screening tools of osteoporosis, eval- uate screening results reasonably, and give final diagnosis. Lastly, patients of osteoporosis may visit various clinical de- partments because of the manifestation diversity. So, all doctors in different departments should become the main body of screening osteoporosis, and shoulder the responsibility of screening osteoporosis, to full-scope ensure patients health.
