WHO fracture risk calculator (FRAX) in the assessment of obese patients with osteoporosis.
INTRODUCTION Recently, a new fracture risk-assessment calculator (FRAX) has been introduced. The aim of this study was to assess its usefulness for the re-assessment of fracture risk in obese patients and re-assignment to treatment. MATERIAL AND METHODS 350 obese female patients were included. In all of them, 10-year fracture risk was calculated using FRAX (with and without T score value). ...
متن کاملComparison of three different osteoporosis risk assessment tools: ORAI (osteoporosis risk assessment instrument), SCORE (simple calculated osteoporosis risk estimation) and OST (osteoporosis self-assessment tool)
Background :SCORE, OST and ORAI risk assessment tools could reduce the cost burden of BMD tests by selecting the high risk patients to osteoporosis. In this study we compared the ability of these risk assessment measures to assess probability of the osteoporosis among post-menopausal women. Methods : 211 post-menopausal women aged 45-88 years enrolled into the study. All of the patients und...
متن کاملFracture risk prediction using BMD and clinical risk factors in early postmenopausal women: sensitivity of the WHO FRAX tool.
The aim of this prospective study was (1) to identify significant and independent clinical risk factors (CRFs) for major osteoporotic (OP) fracture among peri- and early postmenopausal women, (2) to assess, in this population, the discriminatory capacity of FRAX and bone mineral density (BMD) for the identification of women at high risk of fracture, and (3) to assess whether adding risk factors...
متن کاملFracture risk estimation may facilitate the treatment gap in osteoporosis.
INTRODUCTION: THE TREATMENT GAP Osteoporosis is a systemic disease, characterised by low bone mass and a deteriorated microarchitecture, leading to an increased susceptibility to fractures. SCOPE, a scorecard for osteoporosis in Europe, documents that the number of osteoporotic fractures in the 27 European Union (EU) countries will rise by 35% from 3.49 million in 2010 to 4.48 million in 2025. ...
متن کاملCan paramedics use FRAX (the WHO Fracture Risk Assessment Tool) to help GPs improve future fracture risk in patients who fall? Protocol for a randomised controlled feasibility study
INTRODUCTION Currently identification, and therefore, management of patients at risk of osteoporotic fracture in the UK is suboptimal. As the majority of patients who fracture have fallen, it follows that people who fall can usefully be targeted in any programme that aims to reduce osteoporotic fracture. Targeting vulnerable patients who are likely to benefit from intervention may help shift th...
