Abstract

In Germany the management of glucocorticoid-induced osteoporosis (GIO) is characterized by a substantial over-, under- or misuse of care. By developing a set of evidence-based consensus guidelines the Federation of German, Austrian and Swiss Societies of Osteology (DVO) intends to implement standardized diagnostic, preventive and therapeutic procedures for the care of GIO patients. For many diseases requiring systemic glucocorticoids it is not clear whether osteoporosis is caused by the steroid medication, the underlying condition or their combination. Therefore the guideline focuses only on three paradigmatic conditions: rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
