Objective:To investigate the correlation between levels of fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF-23) and monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) and glucocorticoids-induced osteoporosis (GIOP) in children.Methods:From May. 2018 to May. 2022, 80 children with glucocorticoid osteoporosis admitted to our hospital were selected as the study subjects, and the control group was 62 children who received glucocorticoid therapy but had normal bone mass. General data were collected and bone density and bone metabolism were measured, including type 1 collagen carboxy-terminal peptide (CTX-1), type 1 procollagen amino-terminal peptide (PINP), and osteocalcin (OC). The levels of MCP-1and FGF-23 in the serum of the two groups were detected, and univariate and multivariate analysis was performed using prism software to analyze the risk factors affecting GIOP.Results:There was no significant difference in general data between the two groups (both P>0.05). The levels of FGF-23 (264.81±24.61) and MCP-1 (194.16±15.76) in serum of GIOP children were significantly higher than those in the control group (207.97±9.91; 179.00±18.34) ( t=17.13, P < 0.001; t=5.29, P < 0.001) ; Compared with those of the control group (0.88±1.08; 23.98±2.45; 8.36±3.71; 4.56±2.21), bone mineral density (0.44±0.29), PINP (16.29±3.97) and OC (6.74±3.22) levels were decreased, and CTX-1 level was increased (6.62±1.11) ( t=3.58, P<0.05; t=13.40, P<0.05; t=2.78, P<0.05; t=7.25, P<0.05) of the study group. Multivariate Logistic regression model showed that FGF-23 ( OR=1.161, 95% CI: 1.080-1.341, P<0.05), MCP-1 ( OR=1.179, 95% CI: 1.044-1.448, P<0.05) and CTX-1 ( OR=3.018, 95% CI: 1.526-10.510, P<0.05) were independent clinical risk factors for GIOP in children (all P<0.05). PINP ( OR=0.453, 95% CI: 0.169-0.740, P<0.05) was a protective factor affecting GIOP in children. Conclusion:FGF-23 and MCP-1 were independent risk factors for GIOP in children.
