Does bone mineral density improve the predictive accuracy of fracture risk assessment? A prospective cohort study in Northern Denmark

BMJ Open Apr 19, 2018

Dhiman P, et al. - Using data between 01 January 2010 and 31 December 2012, experts investigated the added predictive accuracy of bone mineral density (BMD) to fracture risk assessment in North Denmark Osteoporosis Clinic. The enrollment consisted of patients aged 40–90 years, who had BMD T-score recorded at the hip and not taking osteoporotic preventing drugs for more than 1-year prior to baseline. A marginal improvement was achieved in the fracture risk assessment through continuous BMD, which was determined while using continuous BMD measurement for osteoporosis. Emphasis ought to be laid on the analysis of this risk factor using routinely collected data and on the development of a more clinically relevant methodology to assess the added value of a new risk factor.
