Abstract
Aims
Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) have high fracture risk. This study explored the associations between pancreatic computed tomography (CT) attenuation, a marker of pancreatic fat, and risk of vertebral fracture in T2DM patients.
Methods
A total of 1486 T2DM patients who aged 50 years and older and without preexisting vertebral fractures during 2019–2023 at our institutions were followed up until January 2024. CT attenuation of the pancreas, bone and spleen were measured. Pancreatic attenuation/spleen attenuation ratio (P/S) was calculated. Vertebral fractures were evaluated on spine CT images according to Genant’s semiquantitative scoring system.
Results
A total of 135 cases of vertebral fracture were identified during 26 months of follow-up and 270 patients without vertebral fracture were matched. Pancreatic CT attenuation and the P/S ratio were negatively associated with the risk of vertebral fracture (adjusted hazard ratio (aHR) = 0.97, 95 %confidence interval (CI): 0.96–0.99; aHR = 0.26, 95 %CI: 0.12–0.58). Addition of pancreatic attenuation or P/S ratio improved the performance of bone attenuation-based model (area under the curve = 0.72–0.763 vs 0.63–0.728).
Conclusion
Pancreatic fat infiltration is an associated factor for vertebral fracture in T2DM patients. Addition of pancreatic fat infiltration improved the predictive performance of the bone-based model.
