Lumbar Spine Trabecular Bone Score (TBS) Reflects Diminished Bone Quality in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus and Oral Glucocorticoid Therapy

The objective of this study was to determine whether TBS is a better clinical tool than traditionally used bone mineral density (BMD) to detect the skeletal deterioration seen in patients with diabetes (DM), patients undergoing oral glucocorticoid (GC) therapy, and patients who are both diabetic and taking steroids (GC  + DM).
