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.

FRAX: Facts and Fantasy

Indian Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2012
FRAX is an important web based tool to assess fragility fracture risk in osteoporosis. It has many important limitations too. Good clinical judgement is needed to interpret the results of FRAX. With increasing use we can improvise this tool further.

A new FRAX model for Brazil [PDF]

Archives of Osteoporosis, 2023

Potential Extensions of the US FRAX Algorithm [PDF]

Journal of Osteoporosis, 2012
To determine if the revised US FRAX can identify those at high risk for fractures at any skeletal site, we studied 250 women and 249 men ≥40 years old from an age-stratified random sample of Rochester, MN residents.

Ocena 10-letniego ryzyka złamań u kobiet po menopauzie z wykorzystaniem algorytmu FRAX™, znormalizowanego dla populacji Włoch, Hiszpanii i Wielkiej Brytanii

Menopause Review, 2010
Introduction: Taking into consideration the growing incidence of osteoporotic fractures, identification of patientswith the highest fracture risk seems to be the most rational and cost-effective solution of this clinical problem.The fracture risk ...

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

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

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
