    Abstract Ventilation has emerged as an important strategy to reduce indoor aerosol transmission of coronavirus disease 2019. Indoor air carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentrations are a surrogate measure of respiratory pathogen transmission risk.To determine whether CO₂ monitors are necessary and effective to improve ventilation in hospitals.A randomized, placebo (sham)-controlled, crossover, open label trial. Between February and May 2021, we placed CO₂ monitors in twelve double-bed patient rooms across two geriatric wards. Staff were instructed to open windows, increase the air exchange rate and reduce room crowding to maintain indoor air CO₂ concentrations ≤800 parts per million (ppm).CO₂ levels increased during morning care and especially in rooms housing couples (rooming-in). The median (interquartile range, IQR) time/day with CO₂ concentration > 800 ppm (primary outcome) was 110 min (IQR 47–207) at baseline, 82 min (IQR 12–226.5) during sham periods, 78 min (IQR 20–154) during intervention periods and 140 min (IQR 19.5–612.5) post-intervention. The intervention period only differed significantly from the post-intervention period (P = 0.02), mainly due to an imbalance in rooming-in. Significant but small differences were observed in secondary outcomes of time/day with CO₂ concentrations > 1000 ppm and daily peak CO₂ concentrations during the intervention vs. baseline and vs. the post-intervention period, but not vs. sham. Staff reported cold discomfort for patients as the main barrier towards increasing ventilation.Indoor air CO₂ concentrations in hospital rooms commonly peaked above recommended levels, especially during morning care and rooming-in. There are many possible barriers towards implementing CO₂ monitors to improve ventilation in a real-world hospital setting. A paradigm shift in hospital infection control towards adequate ventilation is warranted.ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04770597

    Abstract Objective: To validate a short food frequency questionnaire (screener) estimating daily average calcium intake from dietary sources to guide calcium supplementation of patients with osteoporosis in clinical practice.
    Methods: An eight-item calcium screener was developed based on existing literature, food consumption data and expert opinion. Convergent validity was determined by comparison with 3-day food records using mean difference, Spearman's correlation coefficients (SCC) and Bland-Altman analysis. Test-retest reliability was assessed by SCC and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). We calculated sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value (PPV) and negative predictive value (NPV) to identify patients requiring calcium supplementation (<1200 mg dietary calcium intake/day).
    Results: Fifty-two patients filled out the eight-item calcium screener and the 3-day Food record (mean age of 66.8 ± 12.9 (SD)) and 38 patients filled out the screener twice for reliability analysis (mean age of 65.8 ± 12.8 (SD)). Dietary calcium intake between the calcium screener and food records showed a strong correlation (N = 52 patients, SCC = 0.53, p ≤ 0.001) and mean difference of 21 mg (p = 0.70). Bland-Altman analysis showed agreement within 95% confidence intervals for 49/52 comparisons (94%). Test-retest reliability of the calcium screener was excellent (SCC = 0.96, p ≤ 0.001; ICC = 0.99, p ≤ 0.001).
    Conclusion: The calcium screener shows good convergent validity, reliability and feasibility to estimate daily calcium intake of patients with osteoporosis in routine clinical practice.

    Abstract An overview of selected papers related to bone published in 2017 is provided.
    Purpose: This paper accompanies a lecture at the 2018 Belgian Bone Club annual Clinical Update Symposium held in Brussels on January 20th, discussing the best papers (in the opinion of the author) published in the previous year.
    Methods: A PubMed search using the keyword "bone" and articles published in 2017.
    Results: Hot topics include screening for osteoporosis, novel anabolic drugs such as romosozumab and abaloparatide for osteoporosis and rare metabolic bone diseases, as well as long-term efficacy of denosumab and possible risk of multiple vertebral fractures following its discontinuation. Other selected articles cover effectiveness of bisphosphonates and changes in mineralization after long-term use, new guidelines for glucocorticoid- and aromatase inhibitor-induced osteoporosis, increasing use of high-dose vitamin D supplements despite lack of evidence for their widespread high-dose use, and cardiovascular safety concerns surrounding the use of calcium supplements. Other topics discussed are effects of diabetes on bone health, reciprocal crosstalk between bone cells and adipose tissue, and resistance exercise training to prevent bone loss and sarcopenia.
    Conclusions: These papers offer a hopeful outlook for a better treatment and management of patients with osteoporosis and other metabolic bone diseases anno 2018.
