Table 2 Consensus of relevant fracture predictors
Patient subgroups | Predictor | Median | IQR |
|---|---|---|---|
secondary osteoporosis | recent or multiple falls | 9 | 1 |
primary and secondary osteoporosis | high risk of falls | 9.5 | 1 |
lumbar spine BMD | 7.5 | 1.5 | |
sarcopenia | 7 | 1.5 | |
postmenopausal women | spine fracture status | 10 | 0.5 |
nursing home patients | falls | 10 | 1.5 |
men | spine fracture status | 10 | 0.5 |
older adults | falls | 9.5 | 2 |
close to treatment threshold | lumbar spine BMD (for vertebral fracture prediction) | 8 | 1.5 |
