Abstract:
PURPOSE: The authors evaluated the usefulness of the biochemical markers in the elderly hip fracture patients. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Eighty-two hip fractures above 65 years old were enrolled in this study. Serum level of C-telopeptide, osteocalcin, parathyroid hormone, 25-hydroxyvitamin D, calcium were checked and bone mineral density was assessed by DXA. RESULTS: 83% vitamin D deficiency and 43% calcium insufficiency were observed. There were statistically significance between C-telopeptide and osteocalcin, calcium and 25-hydroxyvitamin D, and calcium and DXA results in the Chi-Square test. Spearmann correlation coefficient results showed that there were statically significant correlations between C-telopeptide and osteocalcin, calcium and DXA results. In the multiple logistic regression analysis results, calcium had the statically significant correlations with DXA results. CONCLUSION: There was correlation between bone turnover markers and vitamin D deficiency, and calcium insufficiency was observed in the elderly hip fracture patients.
