I am very pleased to share our article on “The prevalence of osteoporosis/osteopenia in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS): a systematic review and meta-analysis”, In Journal: Neurological Sciences.
Literature search revealed 847 articles and 658 remained after deleting duplicates. Finally, 29 original articles and 6 conference papers remained for meta-analysis. A total of 13,906 patients were evaluated. The pooled prevalence of osteoporosis was 17% (95% CI: 14–20%) (I2 = 90.4%,?p < 0.001). The pooled prevalence of osteopenia was 43% (95% CI: 35–51%) (I2 = 97.9%,?p < 0.001).
