Hi, I was wondering if there has been any recent recommendations or studies done on how often you should perform a dxa scan or BMD testing after starting a patient on osteoporosis treatment. According to up to date, "Consider repeat BMD testing one or two years after starting pharmacologic therapy, as soon as six months after starting glucocorticoid therapy, or perhaps never if very little change is expected..." but according to the mini clinical trials that I have been able to dig up, there just does not seem to be any evidence backing up the two-year interval thing. Anybody can give me any more information? thank you very much!
