Research Article: Five-year evaluation of bone health in liver transplant patients: developing a risk score for predicting bone fragility progression beyond the first year
Abstract:
Introduction: Liver transplant (LT) recipients have a substantial risk of bone loss and fracture. An individual’s risk is highest before and within the first year after transplantation and returns to baseline in some patients but not all. We aim to identify risk factors for bone loss and fracture beyond the first year LT and to create a risk-scoring tool to aid clinicians in identifying those at high risk for bone loss and fracture.
