Abstract

Purpose
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the degree of serum vitamin D deficiency in patients with osteoporotic spinal compression fracture and correlation of serum vitamin D level with several variables.
Materials and Methods
The medical records of 134 patients with osteoporotic spinal compression fracture, diagnosed at our hospital between October 2008 and June 2011, were reviewed. Serum 25(OH)vitamin D₃ was used to evaluate the status of vitamin D level. Serum 25(OH)vitamin D₃ level was compared and analyzed according to sex, the number of fractured vertebral body, living environment, and the season of injury. The correlation between vitamin D level and age, bone mineral density, and bone turnover marker were evaluated.
Results
In the serum 25(OH)vitamin D₃, 87 patients (65%) associated with osteoporotic spinal compression fracture had an insufficient level. Vitamin D level was the lowest in winter, the highest in summer, and significantly higher in the living home than nursing home. Vitamin D level was negatively correlated with age (r=-0.201, p=0.02) and positively correlated with bone mineral density (r=0.217, p=0.012).
Conclusion
Evaluation of vitamin D level in osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture patients may be helpful in planning the treatment of the patients. For insufficient vitamin D level, the adequate sun exposure and supplement of vitamin D may be used.
Key words: Osteoporosis, Compression fracture, Vitamin D
