Prediction of subsequent vertebral fracture after percutaneous vertebral augmentation using MRI-based vertebral bone quality and CT-based Hounsfield units: a retrospective cross-sectional study.

ABSTRACT: Subsequent vertebral fracture (SVF) is a common and refractory complication after percutaneous vertebral augmentation (PVA) for osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF). Computed tomography (CT)-based Hounsfeld units (HU) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-based vertebral bone quality (VBQ) score can evaluate osteoporosis quantitatively, hyperlipidemia(HLP) might affect measurement result of VBQ score. The primary objective of this study is to compare the predictive capabilities of HU and VBQ for SVF, and to clarify the impact of hyperlipidemia on the predictive abilities. This study included consecutive 341 patients with OVCF who were treated with PVA from March 1, 2020, to December 31, 2022. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the relationship be
