FRAX first – Pragmatic approach in resource poor settings

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2018
Background: Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) is a fracture prediction tool that uses clinical risk factors with or without bone mineral density (BMD). BMD is difficult to obtain in resource-limited setting.

Comparison of Trabecular Bone Score–Adjusted Fracture Risk Assessment (TBS-FRAX) and FRAX Tools for Identification of High Fracture Risk among Taiwanese Adults Aged 50 to 90 Years with or without Prediabetes and Diabetes

Medicina, 2022
Background and Objectives: The burden of osteoporosis is projected to increase. Identification and prompt intervention for osteoporotic fractures are important.

¿Podría el índice FRAX® modificar el tratamiento de la osteoporosis? [PDF]

Revista de Osteoporosis y Metabolismo Mineral, 2012
Introducción: El índice FRAX® es un algoritmo ideado por la OMS que, valorando factores de riesgo, calcula el riesgo absoluto de sufrir cualquier fractura osteoporótica y de cadera en los próximos 10 años. El objetivo de este trabajo es conocer el riesgo

Association of reproductive characteristics with osteoporosis and FRAX scores in Chinese postmenopausal women: a QCT-based cross-sectional study [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Reproductive characteristics, including age at menarche (AAM), age at natural menopause (ANM), and parity, may influence bone mineral density (BMD) in postmenopausal women through the duration of estrogen exposure and the regulation of calcium ...

German DVO risk score identified more patients requiring treatment compared to FRAX [PDF]

Endocrine Connections
Purpose: Fracture risk determination is essential when recommending treatment in osteoporosis management. We calculated the risk probabilities of major osteoporotic and hip fractures using the DVO score established in German-speaking countries and the ...

Low Predictive Value of FRAX Adjusted by Trabecular Bone Score for Osteoporotic Fractures in Korean Women: A Community-Based Cohort Study [PDF]

Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2020
Background The value of the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and the trabecular bone score (TBS) for assessing osteoporotic fracture risk has not been fully elucidated in Koreans.

Rational formulation engineering of fraxinellone utilizing 6-O-α-D-maltosyl-β-cyclodextrin for enhanced oral bioavailability and hepatic fibrosis therapy

Drug Delivery, 2021
Although Fraxinellone (Frax) isolated from Dictamnus albus L. possessed excellent anti-hepatic fibrosis activity, oral administration of Frax suffered from the inefficient therapeutic outcome in vivo due to negligible oral absorption.

FRAX in Haemodialysis Patients: Preliminary Results

Acta Clinica Croatica, 2021
The incidence of bone fractures is several times higher in haemodialysis (HD) patients than in the general population. FRAX is a fracture risk evaluation tool and shows a 10-year probability of bone fracture.

Risk of osteoporotic fracture in women using the FRAX tool with and without bone mineral density score in patients followed at a tertiary outpatient clinic ‒ An observational study

Clinics, 2022
Objectives: Fragility fractures increase morbidity and mortality. Adding assessment of clinical risk factors independently or as a previous step to Bone Densitometry (BD) should provide better accuracy in fracture risk prediction. FRAX tool might be used

The association between a fracture risk tool and frailty: Geelong Osteoporosis Study

BMC Geriatrics, 2020
Background Frailty is characterised by age-related declines in physical, psychological and social functioning. Features of frailty overlap with risk factors for fragility fractures.
