行額外分析，以獲得更準(zhǔn)確的結(jié)果。?ConclusionLowhouseholdincome,diabetes,hypertension,dyslipidemia,heavyalcoholicswhoconsumedalcoholmorethan3daysaweek,serumTGlevelsof200mg/dLormore,andoralorhigh-doseIVcorticosteroiduseareassociatedwithONFHdevelopment.Specifically,theriskofONFHincreasedrapidlywhencumulativeprednisoloneusewas1,800mgormore.However,oralorhigh-doseIVcorticosteroiduseandcumulativedosedidnotaffecttheprognosisofONFH.SincethedevelopmentandprognosisofONFHarecomplexandmultifactorialprocesses,furtherstudyisneeded.低收入家庭、糖尿病、高血壓、血脂異常、每周飲酒超過3天的重度酗酒者、血清TG水平≥200mg/dL、口服或高劑量靜脈注射皮質(zhì)類固醇與ONFH的發(fā)生有關(guān)。具體來說，當(dāng)累積使用強(qiáng)的松龍超過1800毫克時，ONFH的風(fēng)險迅速增加。然而，口服或高劑量靜脈注射皮質(zhì)類固醇和累積劑量對ONFH的預(yù)后沒有影響。由于ONFH的發(fā)展和預(yù)后是一個復(fù)雜的多因素過程，需要進(jìn)一步研究。
