Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The main outcome parameters are volumetric BMD and tissue mineral density (TMD), cortical and trabecular microarchitecture, and strength of the distal radius and tibia assessed with HR-pQCT. More specifically, BMD-parameters are determined for the total (Tt.BMD), cortical (Ct.BMD), and trabecular (Tb.BMD) bone and similar for TMD (Tt.TMD, Ct.TMD, and Tb.TMD, respectively). Microarchitecture parameters include trabecular bone volume fraction, number, thickness and separation (Tb.BV/TV, Tb.N, Tb.Th, and Tb.Sp, respectively) as well as cortical thickness (Ct.Po) and cortical porosity (Ct.Po). Parameters describing bone strength are estimated by means of micro-finite element (µFE-) models of the distal radius and tibia that are based on the HR-pQCT scans and include bone stiffness and failure load (FL). <br>The parameters will be obtained from the scans acquired with fixed and with length-dependent offset distance. For both scan protocols, the parameters will be averaged for each OI-type. <br>
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Secondary parameters include clinical characteristics of OI (wheelchair dependency, <br> scoliosis, bone deformity, hear loss, blue sclerae, medical history of fracture) and <br> causative genetic mutation. These parameters have been obtained for OI diagnosis <br> and are available at the OI Expertise Center. Patients have consented use of these <br> data for this study.
