Rationale of the Spanish FRAX model in decision-making for predicting osteoporotic fractures: an update of FRIDEX cohort of Spanish women
BACKGROUND The FRAX® tool estimates the risk of a fragility fracture among the population and many countries have been evaluating its performance among their populations since its creation in 2007. The purpose of this study is to update the first FRIDEX cohort analysis comparing FRAX with the bone mineral density (BMD) model, and its predictive abilities. METHODS The discriminatory ability of...
متن کاملClarifying WHO’s position on the FRAX® tool for fracture prediction
Editorials 862 The World Health Organization (WHO) does not currently produce a global estimate of the disease burden attributable to osteoporosis and has long recognized that varying disease definitions and gaps in data complicate the efforts to develop such estimates. 1 By this statement, the World Health Organization wishes to make clear that the FRAX® tool to evaluate fracture risks of pati...
متن کاملValidation of three tools for identifying painful new osteoporotic vertebral fractures in older Chinese men: bone mineral density, Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians, and fracture risk assessment tool
OBJECTIVE This cross-sectional study compared three tools for predicting painful new osteoporotic vertebral fractures (PNOVFs) in older Chinese men: bone mineral density (BMD), the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA), and the World Health Organization fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) (without BMD). METHODS Men aged ≥50 years were apportioned to a group for men with fractur...
متن کاملAuthor's response to reviews Title: FRAX (R) tool, the WHO algorithm to predict osteoporotic fractures: an analysis of its discriminative and predictive ability in a Spanish female cohort (FRIDEX). Authors:
Conclusions, page 4. Conclusions FRAX without BMD for major and hip fracture demonstrates a good discriminative capacity with the AUC ROC for Spanish women but its predictive capacity does not adjust well with the current algorithm leading to under diagnosis for major fracture and hip fractures. Simple models based on age or BMD alone predicted 10-year risk of major and hip osteoporotic fractur...
