ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
The aim of this study was to investigate the association between handgrip strength (HGS) and the risk of subsequent vertebral fracture (SVF) after percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA). MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
A total of 340 patients aged over 50 years with osteoporotic vertebral fracture were enrolled in this 3-year follow-up investigation. HGS was measured with a hand-held dynamometer before PVA. Female patients and male patients were grouped using the HGS threshold recommended by the Asian Working Group for Sarcopenia (AWGS). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to evaluate SVF-free survival. The hazard ratios (HRs) of HGS for SVF events were estimated with the Cox proportional hazards model.RESULTS:
During the follow-up period, a total of 93 patients (27.4%) experienced SVF. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the HGS of female patients < 18.0 kg and male patients < 28 kg was significantly associated with lower SVF-free survival (female patients p < 0.001, male patients p = 0.038; log-rank test). Among women, each 1-kg increase in HGS was associated with a 9% lower risk of SVF (HR 0.91, p = 0.035) after adjustment for potential risk factors. Among men, although the associations between low HGS and increased risk of SVF were significant in the crude model (HR 0.79, p < 0.001), this significance disappeared after adjustment for bone mineral density of the femoral neck.CONCLUSIONS:
Low HGS was significantly associated with lower SVF-free survival among elderly patients who underwent single-level PVA for osteoporotic vertebral fracture.Palavras-chave
