Abstract
The International Society for Clinical Densitometry convenes a Position Development Conference (PDC) every 2 to 3 years to make recommendations for guidelines and standards in the field of musculoskeletal measurement and assessment. The recommendations pertain to clinically relevant issues regarding the acquisition, quality control, interpretation, and reporting of measures of various aspects of musculoskeletal health. These PDCs have been meeting since 2002 and have generated 214 Adult, 26 FRAX, 41 pediatric, and 9 general nomenclature consideration positions, for a total of 290 positions. All positions are justified by detailed documents that present the background and rationale for each position. However, the linkage to these publications is not maintained by the ISCD or any other publication such that physicians cannot easily understand the etiology of the positions. Further, the wording of many positions has changed over the years after being reviewed by subsequent PDCs. This scoping review captures the references, changes, and timeline associated with each position through the 2019 PDC. It is meant to serve as a guide to clinicians and researchers for intelligent use and application of the positions.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
