Ireland DXA-FRAX may differ significantly and substantially to Web-FRAX

Archives of Osteoporosis, 2023
Abstract Summary Appropriate use of FRAX reduces the number of people requiring DXA scans, while contemporaneously determining those most at risk. We compared the results of FRAX with and without inclusion of BMD.

The application of FRAX in Saudi Arabia

Archives of Osteoporosis, 2021
Assessment and treatment pathways based on age-specific intervention thresholds in Saudi Arabi can be used to identify patients at high risk of fracture and avoid unnecessary treatment in those at low fracture risk.Intervention thresholds for the treatment of osteoporosis have historically been based on the measurement of bone mineral density.

Predictors of Fracture Risk and Bone Mineral Density in Men with Prostate Cancer on Androgen Deprivation Therapy

Journal of Osteoporosis, 2011
Decrease of bone mineral density (BMD) and fracture risk is increased in men with prostate cancer receiving androgen deprivation therapy (ADT). We looked at possible predictors of decreased BMD and increased fracture risk in men with prostate cancer ...

Role of Fracture Risk Assessment Tool and Bone Turnover Markers in Predicting All-Cause and Cardiovascular Mortality in Hemodialysis Patients

Frontiers in Medicine, 2022
BackgroundFracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and bone turnover markers (BTMs) predict fractures in the general population. However, the role of FRAX and BTMs in predicting mortality remains uncertain in hemodialysis (HD) patients.MethodsOne hundred and

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.

FRAX (Australia) scores in women with impaired fasting glucose and diabetes

Bone Reports, 2019
Background: Diabetes is associated with higher fracture risk despite higher bone mineral density (BMD), with FRAX® underestimating risk. This study aimed to investigate FRAX score with and without BMD for women with normoglycaemia, impaired fasting ...

Conflicts at the heart of the FRAX tool [PDF]

Canadian Medical Association Journal, 2013
Although the presence of osteoporosis, on average, predicts future fractures at the population level, accumulating evidence indicates that both the identification of fracture-prone individuals and the effectiveness of bone-targeted medications in preventing fractures are limited.

A study to predict fracture risk using bone mineral density and FRAX score in patients on chronic maintenance haemodialysis

Journal of Family Medicine and Primary Care, 2022
Introduction: Disturbances in mineral and bone metabolism are prevalent in chronic kidney disease (CKD) and are important causes of morbidity also their diagnosis often delayed and require a spectrum of investigations.

FRAX updates 2016

Current Opinion in Rheumatology, 2016
Purpose of reviewIn the 8 years since the launch of the FRAX tool, it has continued to grow with the addition of new country or territory models. Although the core of the fracture risk algorithm remains unchanged, there is growing evidence of possible additional independent clinical variables that might modulate the interpretation of the FRAX outputs ...

Allelic association in the FRAX region [PDF]

Annals of Human Genetics, 2000
The sex chromosomes enable direct determination of haplotypes, and the analysis of 8 microsatellite markers from the FRAX region on Xq27‐q28 contributes 7219 independent haplotypes from our study in Wessex. Allelic association increases with frequency of alleles, and is less for trinucleotide than dinucleotide repeats.
