      Nissen, Frida Igland; Andreasen, Camilla; Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Bjørnerem, Åshild Marit; Hansen, Ann Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-12-04)
      Purpose: Fracture risk is most frequently assessed using Dual X-ray absorptiometry to measure areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX). However, these approaches have limitations and additional bone measurements may enhance the predictive ability of these existing tools. Increased cortical porosity has been associated with incident fracture in some ...

      Summary - The purpose of this paper is to describe rates of forearm fractures in adults in Norway 2008–2019. Incidence rate of distal forearm fractures declined over time in both sexes. Forearm fracture constitute a significant health burden and prevention strategies are needed.<p> <p>Purpose - To assess age- and sex-specific incidence rates, and time trends for forearm fractures in Norway, and ...
    • Forearm fractures–are we counting them all? An attempt to identify and include the missing fractures treated in primary care 

      Dahl, Cecilie; Ohm, Eyvind; Solbakken, Siri Marie; Anwar, Nudrat; Holvik, Kristin; Madsen, Christian; Frihagen, Frede; Bjørnerem, Åshild Marit; Nissen, Frida Igland; Solberg, Lene Bergendal; Omsland, Tone Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-07-07)
      Objective: Norway has a high incidence of forearm fractures, however, the incidence rates based on secondary care registers can be underestimated, as some fractures are treated exclusively in primary care. We estimated the proportion of forearm fracture diagnoses registered exclusively in primary care and assessed the agreement between diagnosis for forearm fractures in primary and secondary care. ...
    • Is There a Causal Relationship between Physical Activity and Bone Microarchitecture? A Study of Adult Female Twin Pairs 

      Nissen, Frida Igland; Esser, Vivienne F. C.; Bui, Minh; Li, Shuai; Hopper, John L.; Bjørnerem, Åshild Marit; Hansen, Ann Kristin (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2023-05-17)
      The reasons for the association between physical activity (PA) and bone microarchitecture traits are unclear. We examined whether these associations were consistent with causation and/or with shared familial factors using a cross-sectional study of 47 dizygotic and 93 monozygotic female twin pairs aged 31–77 years. Images of the nondominant distal tibia were obtained using high-resolutionperipheral ...
    • Target Values and Daytime Variation of Bone Turnover Markers in Monitoring Osteoporosis Treatment After Fractures 

      Borgen, Tove Tveitan; Solberg, Lene Bergendal; Lauritzen, Trine; Apalset, Ellen Margrete; Bjørnerem, Åshild Marit; Eriksen, Erik Fink (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-04-22)
      The serum bone turnover markers (BTM) procollagen type 1 N-terminal propeptide (P1NP) and C-terminal cross-linking telopeptide of type 1 collagen (CTX) are recommended for monitoring adherence and response of antiresorptive drugs (ARD). BTM are elevated about 1 year after fracture and therefore BTM target values are most convenient in ARD treatment follow-up of fracture patients. In this prospective ...
    • Validation of forearm fracture diagnoses in administrative patient registers

      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 ...
