}A prediction model (FREM) for identifying men and women at high risk of MOFs or hip fractures by using solely existing administrative data is developed and tested and could be employed centrally in a national case‐finding strategy where patients at high fracture risk could be invited to a focused DXA program.

Real-world evaluation of osteoporotic fractures using the Japan Medical Data Vision database
- 2022
Medicine
It was found that patients with non-hip non-vertebral (NHNV) fractures had a 26% higher risk of subsequent fracture than patients with hip fractures; therefore, NHNV fractures should also be considered an important risk factor for subsequent fracture.
FREM predicts 10-year incident fracture risk independent of FRAX® probability: a registry-based cohort study
- 2022
Medicine
Higher FREM scores identified women and men at increased fracture risk even when adjusted for F RAX probability that included BMD; hence, FREM provides additional predictive information to FRAX.
Evaluating the performance of the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI) in fracture risk prediction and developing a new Charlson Fracture Index (CFI): a register-based cohort study

Medicine
Main results were that the CCI was updated to predict risk of hip fracture with fair precision and that the index could be useful in detecting high-risk individuals.
An electronic health record (EHR)-based risk calculator can predict fractures comparably to FRAX: a proof-of-concept study.

Medicine
Routinely collected data in EHR systems can generate adequate fracture predictions without the need to verbally ascertain fracture risk factors, and this could allow for automated fracture prediction at the point of care to improve osteoporosis screening and treatment rates.

Medicine
Compared to an office-based case-finding strategy, the two-step systematic screening strategy had no overall effect on fracture incidence and seemed, however, to be beneficial in the group of women who were identified by FRAX as moderate- or high-risk patients and complied with DXA.

Medicine
All FRATs tested perform similarly in identifying osteoporosis among elderly, primarily Caucasian, male veterans and if these electronic screening methods perform similarly for fracture outcomes, they could replace manual FRAX and thus improve efficiency in identifying individuals who should be sent for DXA scan.
