Determinants of trabecular bone score and prevalent vertebral fractures in women with fragility fractures: a cross-sectional sub-study of NoFRACT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-11-21)
<i>Summary</i>
- Determinants of trabecular bone score (TBS) and vertebral fractures assessed semiquantitatively (SQ1–SQ3) were studied in 496 women with fragility fractures. TBS was associated with age, parental hip fracture, alcohol intake and BMD, not SQ1–SQ3 fractures. SQ1–SQ3 fractures were associated with age, prior fractures, and lumbar spine BMD, but not TBS.<p><p>

High prevalence of vertebral fractures and low trabecular bone score in patients with fragility fractures: A cross-sectional sub-study of NoFRACT
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-02-08)
<p><i>Purpose - </i>Norway has among the highest incidence rates of fractures in the world. Vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) and trabecular bone score (TBS) provide information about fracture risk, but their importance have not been studied in Norwegian patients with fragility fractures. The objectives of this study were to examine the clinical characteristics of a cohort of women and men with ...
Validation of forearm fracture diagnoses in administrative patient registers
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-08-24)
Summary The validity of forearm fracture diagnoses recorded in fve Norwegian hospitals was investigated using image
reports and medical records as gold standard. A relatively high completeness and correctness of the diagnoses was found.
Algorithms used to defne forearm fractures in administrative data should depend on study purpose.<p>
<p>Purpose In Norway, forearm fractures are routinely recorded ...
Effect of a Fracture Liaison Service on the Rate of Subsequent Fracture Among Patients With a Fragility Fracture in the Norwegian Capture the Fracture Initiative (NoFRACT)
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-12-07)
<p><i>Importance</i>: Fragility fracture is a major health issue because of the accompanying morbidity, mortality, and financial cost. Despite the high cost to society and personal cost to affected individuals, secondary fracture prevention is suboptimal in Norway, mainly because most patients with osteoporotic fractures do not receive treatment with antiosteoporotic drugs after fracture ...
