Abstract
The article presents a review of the clinical guidelines of 2017 American College of Rheumatology for prevention and treatment of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis. The guidelines i contain fracture risk gradation not only for people over 40 years , based on the measurement of bone mineral density, 10-year probability of fractures by FRAX and prior osteoporotic fractures, but also for people under 40 years. The guidelines present , recommendations for initial and follow-up treatment for prevention of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis according the level of risk of fractures in different age groups of adults, and in children from 4 years of age, in patients with organ transplant and patients older than 30 years, receiving very high-dose of glucocorticoids . Oral bisphosphonates were recommended as first line treatment due to safety, cost, and because of lack of evidence for superior antifracture benefits from other OP medications. Oral bisohosphonates could be switched to another medication in case of intolerance. The issues of applicability of these recommendations in national clinical practice are being discussed.
