IOF adverte: saiba reconhecer os sintomas de fratura na coluna vertebral

GENEBRA, 19 de Outubro de 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- A osteoporose, uma doença que faz com que os ossos se tornem fracos e frágeis, é a causa de fraturas em aproximadamente uma em cada três mulheres e em um em cada cinco homens acima de 50 anos de idade em todo o mundo.

Fraturas na coluna (ou "vertebrais") são as fraturas osteoporóticas mais comuns. Estima-se que uma nova fratura aconteça a cada 22 segundos em âmbito mundial. Porém, embora sejam uma das principais causas de dor e de incapacidade a longo prazo, até 70 por cento das fraturas na coluna vertebral não recebem atenção clínica.

On World Osteoporosis Day, October 20, the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) urges people around the globe to take action for bone health and osteoporosis prevention. Spine (vertebral) fractures are painful, disabling, and lead to more potentially life-threatening fractures. Yet these fractures often remain unidentified, and osteoporosis, the underlying disease, remains untreated.
On World Osteoporosis Day, October 20, the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) urges people around the globe to take action for bone health and osteoporosis prevention. Spine (vertebral) fractures are painful, disabling, and lead to more potentially life-threatening fractures. Yet these fractures often remain unidentified, and osteoporosis, the underlying disease, remains untreated.

Por ocasião do Dia Mundial da Osteoporose, celebrado em 20 de Outubro, a Fundação Internacional de Osteoporose (International Osteoporosis Foundation - IOF) insiste que os adultos fiquem alertas para três sinais de possíveis fraturas na coluna vertebral: dor súbita e severa nas costas; perda de mais de três centímetros de altura (pouco mais que uma polegada); ou costas curvadas.

O presidente da IOF, professor Cyrus Cooper, afirmou: "Os pacientes que sentem dores súbitas nas costas geralmente recebem apenas uma receita médica para analgésicos, não são examinados adequadamente e não têm a causa subjacente tratada. Porém, sem tratamento preventivo, uma fratura na coluna vertebral pode marcar o início de uma série de outras fraturas, o que, por sua vez, resulta em incapacidade e dor a longo prazo".

Na verdade, uma em cada cinco mulheres com fratura na coluna vertebral terá outra fratura dentro de doze meses e isso afetará gravemente sua qualidade de vida. Anita, uma paciente da Suécia com histórico familiar de osteoporose, é um exemplo típico. Anita sofreu várias fraturas na coluna vertebral, e a terceira ocorreu quando ela teve uma gripe e simplesmente tossiu. Como resultado, ela perdeu seis centímetros em altura, sofre de dores crônicas e teve que abandonar seu trabalho de enfermeira, que ela adorava.

Junto com as suas 240 organizações associadas, em todo o mundo, a IOF pede que os profissionais de saúde enfrentem o problema de fraturas na coluna vertebral que não são registradas nem recebem tratamento.

O professor Cooper acrescentou: "Aconselhamos os radiologistas que realizam exames de radiografia a prestarem atenção nas fraturas da coluna vertebral e registrá-las adequadamente como 'fraturas'. Os médicos também devem fazer sua parte para garantir que, depois de identificadas as fraturas, os pacientes se beneficiem de estratégias de gerenciamento e tratamento apropriados, antes que haja um dano maior e que ocorram fraturas perigosas".

Fraturas causadas pela osteoporose são um imenso encargo para os sistemas de saúde, e a previsão é que os custos aumentem bastante nas próximas décadas. A IOF defende a implementação de Serviços de Coordenação de Fraturas nos hospitais em todo o mundo – um passo fundamental para reduzir as fraturas por fragilidade e os custos financeiros. Esses serviços ajudam a garantir que a primeira fratura de um paciente seja a última.

Para o Dia Mundial da Osteoporose, a IOF colocou à disposição vários recursos novos para pacientes e profissionais de saúde. O Teste de Um Minuto para Verificar o Risco de Osteoporose está também disponível para ajudar os adultos a identificarem seus fatores pessoais de risco de ter osteoporose.

O Dia Mundial da  Osteoporose, celebrado anualmente no dia 20 de Outubro, marca o início de uma campanha de conscientização de um ano de duração.
