How to decide intervention thresholds based on FRAX in central south Chinese postmenopausal women
نویسندگان
چکیده
The FRAX tool has been used to determine possible thresholds for therapeutic intervention; however, there are no FRAX-based intervention thresholds available for China, we proposed that the 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fracture and hip fracture of about 4.0 and 1.3%, respectively, may be acceptable intervention thresholds for central south Chinese postmenopausal women.

INTRODUCTION The FRAX calculator combines a set of clinical risk factors with country-specific incidence rates to determine the ten-year absolute risk of major osteoporotic fracture. However, regional or country-specific databases from Central American countries are not available. We compared the use of various FRAX databases and the Pluijm algorithm in determining risk of fracture. METHODS W...

INTRODUCTION FRAX®, an assessment algorithm for estimating fracture probability, has been widely used for the evaluation of osteoporosis since 2008. Its clinical use requires that osteoporotic fracture probability is established at which treatment can be recommended. OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to explore possible treatment thresholds for Poland. PATIENTS AND METHODS The FRA...

SUMMARY The Irish Fracture Risk Assessment (FRAX) tool is the first fracture prediction model that has been calibrated using national hip fracture incidence data and Irish mortality rates. The Irish FRAX tool can be used to identify intervention thresholds for Ireland based on the fracture probability equivalent to that of a woman with a prior fracture. OBJECTIVES The objective of the study i...

INTRODUCTION The major challenge when administering osteoporosis treatment is to identify patients with the highest fracture risk. FRAX is a new algorithm that integrates clinical risk factors of fracture and the results of densitometry. OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to evaluate the use of FRAX in identifying patients that should receive osteoporosis treatment and compare it with other ...
