BACKGROUND: A score to predict the association between unexplained osteoporosis and an underlying systemic Mastocytosis (SM) is lacking. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at identifying criteria able to predict the diagnosis of SM without skin involvement and provide an indication for bone marrow (BM) assessment. METHODS: We included 139 adult patients with unexplained osteoporosis and suspected SM. After BM evaluation, 63 patients (45.3 %) were diagnosed with SM, while the remaining 76 patients (54.7 %) negative for clonal mast cell (MC) disorders, constituted our control group. Univariate and multivariate analysis identified three independent predictive factors: age (<54 years: +1 point, >64 years: -1 point), serum basal tryptase (sBT) levels >19 ng/mL (+2 points) and vertebral fractures (+2 points). RESULTS: These variables were used to build the OSTEO-score, able to predict the diagnosis of SM before BM assessment with a sensitivity of 73.5 % and a specificity of 67.1 %. Patients with a score < 3 had a lower probability of having SM compared to patients with a score ≥ 3 (28.5 % and 71.4 %, respectively, p < 0.0001). When sBT levels were corrected for the presence of hereditary alpha-tryptasemia (HαT) using the BST calculater (https://bst-calculater.niaid.nih.gov/) recently published [1,2], the sensitivity of ΗαT-adjusted OSTEO-score increased to 87.8 %, and the specificity reached 76.1 %. Also, the positive predictive value of a score ≥ 3 increased to 85.2 %. CONCLUSIONS: Furth...
