Retrospective Observational Evaluation of the Bone Mineral Density Outcome in Young Women With Amenorrhea
Sponsor: IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna
Summary
The study aims to evaluate the outcomes of different estrogen therapy regimens in patients with amenorrhea who face prolonged periods of hypoestrogenism. The primary objective is to compare the outcomes on bone mass of different therapeutic regimens and identify more favorable. For this purpose, densitometry parameters such as BMD, T-score and Z-score at the level of the lumbar spine, femur and entire skeleton will be considered, comparing a bone densitometry (DXA technique, Dual X-ray Absorptiometry) Baseline with one carried out after at least one year of therapy. The secondary objective of the study is to assess other systemic/metabolic implications of the different therapies.
