comparison of three different osteoporosis risk assessment tools: orai (osteoporosis risk assessment instrument), score (simple calculated osteoporosis risk estimation) and ost (osteoporosis self-assessment tool)

Comparison 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...

Osteoporosis risk assessment among rural women using osteoporosis self-assessment tool for Asians (OSTA)

Osteoporosis is one of the most prevalent of the degenerative diseases and now recognized as a silent epidemic disorder. With increasing longevity of the Indian population, it is now being realized that, as in the West, osteoporotic fractures are a major cause of morbidity and mortality in the elderly.

Cardiovascular Risk Assessment in Primary Osteoporosis

Background: There is increased awareness of the need for cardiovascular (CVS) risk monitoring in the Northern Ireland population in general, and amongst rheumatoid arthritis and SLE patients in particular, who have a higher incidence of cardiovascular disease. No clear guidelines exist for cardiovascular risk monitoring in osteoporosis, and the prevalence and associations of known CVS risk fact...
