Traditional clinical risk factors outperform disease activity and hematologic indices for FRAX hip fracture risk in rheumatoid arthritis [PDF]
BackgroundHip fractures are among the most devastating complications of osteoporosis, yet determinants of the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX)–estimated 10-year hip fracture probability (FRAX-Hip) in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) remain incompletely ...

The fracture risk assessment tool, FRAX, was released in 2008 and provides country-specific algorithms for estimating individualized 10-year probability of hip and major osteoporotic fracture (hip, clinical spine, distal forearm, and proximal humerus).

The worldwide uptake of FRAX is described.The aim of this report was to determine the usage of FRAX worldwide over a 1-year period from 1 May 2012.The number of FRAX calculations from each country was assessed over a 1-year period and expressed as calculations per million of the population aged 50 years or more. Countries were colour coded according to

Underestimation of fracture risk by conventional FRAX thresholds in axial spondyloarthritis: a proposal for disease-specific thresholds [PDF]
Background: The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) is widely used as an intervention threshold for postmenopausal osteoporosis but has not been validated specifically for axial spondyloarthritis (axSpA).

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

[Extract] In the case of osteoporosis and FRAX, the authors do not appear to have grasped the reality of fracture epidemiology and risk assessment. In this editorial, we set out the key messages from the epidemiology of fracture globally, key considerations in building risk assessment tools, the specific contribution of race/ethnicity and practical ...

FRAX in Haemodialysis Patients: Preliminary Results
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.
