Timing the Scan: Optimizing Screening for Osteoporosis and Risk of Fracture in Celiac Disease
The ideal timing for DXA screening in patients with CeD depends on the clinical objective. DXA at diagnosis maximizes the early detection of low bone mass, whereas the NOGG criteria effectively identified patients at high risk of fractures, reducing unnecessary scans. However, their use should be weighed against an underdetection of clinically relevant BMD alterations. Tailoring DXA timing to healthcare resources and patient demographics may optimize outcomes and resource allocation.
