Comparison between dual energy X-ray absorptiometry and calcaneal quantitative ultrasound for determining bone mineral density in children living with HIV in uganda: A cross- sectional study

Abstract Background The aim of this study was to compare quantitative ultrasound (QUS) and dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) for determining bone mineral density (BMD) among children living with HIV (CLWH) who were switching to second-line antiretroviral therapy (ART). Methods We conducted a cr...
