Perioperative risk factors for osteoporosis after radical gastrectomy for gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Osteoporosis, a frequent complication of gastrectomy, increases with age, and the average age of gastric cancer patients continues to rise. This study aims to analyze perioperative factors of osteoporosis after radical gastrectomy.

Materials and methods

This retrospective cohort study included patients who underwent dual-energy-X-ray absorptiometry after gastrectomy due to gastric cancer between 2016 and 2019 at Seoul Boramae Medical Center. Data were analyzed from before surgery to 12 months after surgery. Statistical analyses identified osteoporosis risk factors among perioperative factors.

Results

Among 189 patients, osteoporosis was diagnosed in 72 patients and peaked at 36 months postoperatively (46.3%; 24 out of 54) with the lowest mean T score of -3.
