Abstract
BACKGROUND: No meta-analysis has holistically analysed and summarized the effect of prolactin excess due to prolactinomas on bone mineral metabolism. We undertook this meta-analysis to address this knowledge-gap.
METHODS: Electronic databases were searched for studies having patients with hyperprolactinemia due to prolactinoma and the other being a matched control group. The primary outcome was to evaluate the differences in BMD Z-scores at different sites. The secondary outcomes of this study were to evaluate the alterations in bone mineral density, bone mineral content and the occurrence of fragility fractures.
RESULTS: Data from 4 studies involving 437 individuals was analysed to find out the impact of prolactinoma on bone mineral metabolism. Individuals with prolactinoma had significantly lower Z scores at the lumbar spine [MD -1.08 (95 % CI: -1.57 - -0.59); P
