Optimization of BMD measurements to identify high risk groups for treatment - A test analysis
(2004) In Journal of Bone and Mineral Research 19(6). p.906-913- Abstract
- The aim of this study was to optimize the use of BMD measurements in case finding strategies. The use of clinical risk factors with and without BMD was explored in a random sample of the Sheffield female population greater than or equal to75 years of age. The use of clinical risk factors alone could identify women well above or well below a threshold of fracture risk. BMD assessment can be confined to a minority of women (similar to20%) in whom the measurement aids in prognostication of fracture.
