Increased cortical porosity and reduced cortical thickness of the proximal femur are associated with nonvertebral fracture independent of Fracture Risk Assessment Tool and Garvan estimates in postmenopausal women
Kral, Rita; Osima, Marit; Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Vestgaard, Roald; Richardsen, Elin; Bjørnerem, Åshild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-09-25)The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and Garvan Calculator have improved the individual prediction of fracture risk. However, additional bone measurements that might enhance the predictive ability of these tools are the subject of research. There is increasing interest in cortical parameters, especially cortical porosity. Neither FRAX nor Garvan include measurements of cortical architecture, ... -
Women with fracture, unidentified by FRAX, but identified by cortical porosity, have a set of characteristics that contribute to their increased fracture risk beyond high FRAX score and high cortical porosity
Kral, Rita; Osima, Marit; Vestgaard, Roald; Richardsen, Elin; Bjørnerem, Åshild (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-08-25)The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) is widely used to identify individuals at increased risk for fracture. However, cortical porosity is associated with risk for fracture independent of FRAX and is reported to improve the net reclassification of fracture cases. We wanted to test the hypothesis that women with fracture who are unidentified by high FRAX score, but identified by high cortical ...
