Archives of Osteoporosis, 2018 This paper reviews the research programme that went into the development of FRAX® and its impact in the 10 years since its release in 2008.Osteoporosis is defined on the measurement of bone mineral density though the clinical consequence is fracture.

Hemoglobin Levels Improve Fracture Risk Prediction in Addition to FRAX Clinical Risk Factors and Bone Mineral Density [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2023 Context Anemia and decreasing levels of hemoglobin (Hb) have previously been linked to increased fracture risk, but the added value to FRAX, the most utilized fracture prediction tool worldwide, is unknown.

An overview of the use of the fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) in osteoporosis
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2023 FRAX®, a simple-to-use fracture risk calculator, was first released in 2008 and since then has been used increasingly worldwide. By calculating the 10-year probabilities of a major osteoporotic fracture and hip fracture, it assists clinicians when ...

Osteoporosis International, 2020 [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 ...

Previous fracture and subsequent fracture risk: A meta-analysis to update FRAX
Osteoporosis International, 2023 A large international meta-analysis using primary data from 64 cohorts has quantified the increased risk of fracture associated with a previous history of fracture for future use in FRAX. The aim of this study was to quantify the fracture risk associated

A systematic review on the performance of fracture risk assessment tools: FRAX, DeFRA, FRA-HS
Journal of Endocrinological Investigation, 2023 Purpose Preventing fragility fractures by treating osteoporosis may reduce disability and mortality worldwide. Algorithms combining clinical risk factors with bone mineral density have been developed to better estimate fracture risk and possible ...

Performance of FRAX in Men With Prostate Cancer: A Registry‐Based Cohort Study
Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 2023 The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX®) was created to predict major osteoporotic fractures (MOF) and hip fractures in the general population. Whether FRAX accurately predicts fractures in men with prostate cancer is unknown.
