About this study

Official title: Performance of CT Parameters (SBAC-L1, Fractal Analysis) Compared to BMD (Gold Standard) to Detect Vertebral Fractures in rheumatoïd Arthritis

Objective: To evaluate the performance of CT parameters (SBAC-L1 and fractal analysis) compared to BMD (gold standard) to detect vertebral fractures in rheumatoid arthritis

Read the detailed description

To evaluate the performance of scanographic bone attenuation coefficient of the first lumbar vertebra (SBAC-L1) and fractal analysis, markers of bone fragility on computed tomography (CT), compared to bone mineral density (BMD) to detect vertebral fractures in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).

Patient and methods: Rheumatoid arthritis patients followed from 2009 to 2019 in Nancy University hospital who met the 2010 ACR/EULAR criteria for RA and examined using thoraco-abdomino-pelvic CT (TAP-CT) and BMD (spine, hip) within a period of up to 2 years were included. Scanographic bone attenuation coefficient and fractal dimension of the first lumbar vertebra (SBAC-L1, FD-L1) were measured on CT. Vertebral fractures of the thoracolumbar spine were evaluated on CT according to an adaptation of Genant's scoring method.

Demographic characteristics (age, sex, smoking), clinical data (disease duration, DAS-28), biological data (C-reactive protein (CRP), RF, ACPA) and treatments (n proton pump inhibitor, corticosteroid, TNF-inhibitors (TNFi) and others biologics, calcium, vitamin D, antiresorptive agents) were collected from the complete medical record. Univariate and multivariate analysis were performed to determine if these variables were associated or not with bone fragility (vertebral fracture, SBAC-L1, FD-L1).

We evaluated the performance and diagnostic complementarity as well as optimal diagnostic thresholds of SBAC-L1, FD-L1 and BMD (gold standard) to detect vertebral fractures in these patients at risk of osteoporosis.

Intra and inter-readers reproducibilities of the scanographic screening methods (SBAC-L1, FD-L1) were also studied.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Performance of SBAC-L1 to detect the presence of vertebral fracture on CT

    Measured: 4 months

  2. Performance of FD-L1 to detect the presence of vertebral fracture on CT

    Measured: 4 months

Secondary outcomes (3)
  1. ROC curves to determine fracture thresholds to detect vertebral fractures on SBAC-L1( in Hounsfield Unit)

    Measured: 1 month

  2. Correlation between demographic , clinical, biologic and treatments and the presence of bone fragility (vertebral fracture, SBAC-L1, FD-L1)

    Correlation between demographic (age, sexe, osteoporotic factors), clinical (disease duration, disease activity) biologic (CRP, ACPA, Rheumatoid Factor) and treatments (corticosteroids, biologic, DMARDs, anti-osteoporotic) and the presence of bone fragility (vertebral fracture, SBAC-L1, FD-L1)

    Measured: 4 month

  3. ROC curves to determine fracture thresholds to detect vertebral fractures on FD-L1

    Measured: 1 month

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Osteoporosis and Rheumatoid Arthritis, run by Central Hospital, Nancy, France at 1 site in France.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 0 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 4 Jun 2020. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in France. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Performance of SBAC-L1 to detect the presence of vertebral fracture on CT (time frame: 4 months). The study lists 2 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 4 Jun 2020.
