Is there an association between peptic ulcer disease and osteoporosis: a systematic review and cumulative analysis
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD) sufferers are at a high risk of developing osteoporosis, but the evidence has not been previously synthesized. This is the first study to quantify the positive association between PUD and the risk of osteoporosis by conducting a meta-analysis. In clinical practice, assessment of the bone mineral density and antiosteoporotic treatments are recommended for those potential patients with PUD.
