G587 How relevant are low levels of vitamin D to radiological skeletal change and a potential risk of fracture: a retrospective study in a tuberculosis clinic
Abstract:BackgroundThe significance of reduced vitamin D (25-OHD) to skeletal health, as assessed by radiological changes and fracture risk, is not known in detail. The uncertainty of this nutritional interaction becomes critical for instance in cases of potential non-accidental fracture. In order to provide an insight into this area we studied a paediatric group at high risk of low vitamin D levels.AimsWe aimed to estimate the incidence of radiological bony changes in patients attending a paediatric tuberculosis clini… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
