Study population: Between August 2020 and July 2021, two separate excel files were created for the identification numbers of the patients who had DEXA measurements and the identification numbers of the patients who had covid. Then, common ID numbers were found in both excel files in the computer environment. Among these patients, female patients over the age of 18 who had dexa measurements twice before and after covid, with at least one year between two dexa measurements and at least one month after covid infection were included in the study.

Brief summary: Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by decreased bone strength and an increased risk of fracture. Age, gender, body mass index, fragility fracture history, corticosteroid use, immobilization, smoking and alcohol use, endocrine pathologies besides inflammatory and infectious pathologies can also be effective in the development of osteoporosis. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of Covid-19 infection on the development of osteoporosis.

In this study, bone mineral density (BMD) measurements of patients with Covid-19 infection were examined. For this, dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) measurement was used. A total of 55 patients were included in the study and data such as age, height, weight, comorbidities, drugs used, and treatment methods were recorded. Results showed that the time spent in the intensive care unit was associated with the femoral neck T score in DEXA measurements of patients with Covid-19 infection. The use of drugs such as alendronate, zolendronate, denosumab or teriparatide during the treatment process did not have a statistically significant effect on the lumbar and femur T scores.


Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Female patients over the age of 18 who had dexa measurements twice before and after covid, with at least one year between two dexa measurements, and at least one month after covid infection were included in the study.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Under the age of 18, male patients, patients with a diagnosis other than Covid-19 infection that will affect bone metabolism between the two dexa shooting dates before and after covid, patients who use another drug other than covid treatment that will affect bone metabolism between the two dexa shooting dates before and after covid not included in the study
