Article Abstract

Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence and risk factors of secondary osteoporosis (OP) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and provide a theoretical basis for clinical prevention and treatment of SLE.

Methods: Take systematic review and meta-analysis of relevant studies. Data sources are CINAHL databases, PubMed, Embase, Wan Fang, Weipu, and CNKI databases. Eligibility criteria are cross-sectional or case-control studies which analyzed the prevalence and risk factors of OP in SLE. Two authors independently screened all studies; a third author verified and identify controversial studies. The quality of the included articles was evaluated. Stata 11 and Rev-Man 5.2 software were used for data processing.

Results: Thirty-one articles were included, with a total sample size of 3089 SLE, including 529 OP cases and 2560 non-OP cases. Meta-analysis showed that the prevalence of OP among SLE was 16% (95% CI (0.12, 0.19)). The risk of OP in SLE cases compared with controls was significantly greater with OR of 2.03 (95% CI 1.33-3.10, P = 0.001). Age, disease duration, cumulative glucocorticoid dose, duration of glucocorticoid therapy, SLICC, and menopause had significant differences between two groups. No statistical differences of daily glucocorticoid dose, SLEDAI, and BMI were found between OP and non-OP cases.

Conclusions: Our study found a statistically significant increased risk of OP in SLE patients compared with controls. SLE patients should be actively screened for OP and its consequences. Larger longitudinal studies are needed to confirm this possible association. The prevalence of OP in SLE was 16%. Compared with controls, the risk of OP in SLE was 2.03. There were significant differences of age, disease duration, cumulative glucocorticoid dose, time of glucocorticoid, SLICC, and menopause, while daily glucocorticoid dose, SLEDAI, and BMI had no statistical differences between OP and non-OP cases.

Background: Topical glucocorticoids are widely used in psoriasis treatment but may lead to systemic adverse effects, particularly with prolonged use. While pediatric cases are well-documented, adult-onset iatrogenic Cushing's syndrome from topical corticosteroids remains under-recognized.

Case Presentation: A 31-year-old woman with a 10-year history of psoriasis vulgaris self-administered high-potency clobetasol propionate ointment (monthly cumulative dose escalated from 30 g to 100 g over 22 months) under no physician supervision.

Background And Aims: The anti-inflammatory effects of dexamethasone may reduce the inflammatory response after pancreatoduodenectomy. The aim of this retrospective observational study was to evaluate the association between intraoperative dexamethasone and postoperative complications in patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy with a special focus on patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC).

Methods: All eligible patients undergoing pancreatoduodenectomy in our hospital between January 2018 and December 2021 (n = 319) were included comparing the postoperative outcomes in patients who received intraoperative dexamethasone (n = 178) to patients not given any intraoperative glucocorticoids (n = 142).

Aim: To explore the experiences of patients, families and clinicians managing steroid-induced hyperglycaemia (SIH) out of the hospital and identify areas for improved care.

Methods: We searched hospital records to identify patients requiring input from the diabetes inpatient team between February 2022 and March 2023 due to steroid usage. Clinicians, patients and their family members were interviewed remotely about their experiences of care and views on how to improve it.
