Ukrainian Consensus on Diagnosis and Management of Vitamin D Deficiency in Adults.

Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is a global problem, however, there were no Ukrainian guidelines devoted to its screening, prevention, and treatment, which became the reason for the Consensus creation. This article aimed to present the Consensus of Ukrainian experts devoted to VDD management. Following the creation of the multidisciplinary Consensus group, consent on the formation process, drafting and fine-tuning of key recommendations, and two rounds of voting, 14 final recommendations were successfully voted upon.

Vitamin D deficiency in Ukraine: current evidence.

Background: Data from numerous studies demonstrate the high frequency of vitamin D deficiency (VDD) and insufficiency (VDI) in many countries worldwide that depend on age and sex, seasons, country, and concomitant pathology. This research aimed to study vitamin D status in the Ukrainian population during 2016-2022 years depending on age, sex, month, and year of the observation, and compare the results with the data of previous Ukrainian epidemiologic studies.

Methods: In a single-center cohort study, we analyzed the serum total 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) level in 7,418 subjects aged 20-99 years.

BONE MINERAL DENSITY AND PROBABILITY OF OSTEOPOROTIC FRACTURES IN WOMEN WITH TYPE II DIABETES MELLITUS.

Objective: The aim: To assess bone mineral density and 10-year probability of major osteoporotic and hip fractures using the Ukrainian FRAX® version for postmenopausal women with Type II diabetes mellitus and to determine the need for OP treatment according to the algorithm FRAX and BMD.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: 690 females aged 50-89 years (mean age 67.0±7.

FRAX-Based Intervention Thresholds for Osteoporosis Treatment in Ukraine.

Objectives: Osteoporosis, in addition to its consequent fracture burden, is a common and costly condition. FRAX is a well-established, validated, web-based tool which calculates the 10-year probability of fragility fractures. A FRAX model for Ukraine has been available since 2016 but its output has not yet been translated into intervention thresholds for the treatment of osteoporosis in Ukraine; we aimed to address this unmet need in this analysis.

[10-YEAR MORTALITY IN PATIENTS AFTER HIP FRACTURES].

The aim is to study the indexes of short- and long-term mortality in patients after hip fractures (HF). In a retrospective study, the data of 146 women and 82 men with HF aged 50 years and older (mean age (Me [25Q-75Q]): 74.5 [64.
