摘要
Objective: To evaluate the efficacy of the World Health Organization Fracture Risk Assessment Tool, excluding bone mineral density (pre-BMD FRAX), in identifying Taiwanese postmenopausal women needing dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) examination for further treatment. Materials and methods: The pre-BMD FRAX score was calculated for 231 postmenopausal women who participated in public health education workshops in the local Keelung community, Taiwan. DXA scanning and vertebral fracture assessment (VFA) were arranged for women classified as intermediate or high risk for fracture using the pre-BMD FRAX fracture probability. Results: Pre-BMD FRAX classified 26 women as intermediate risk and 37 as having high risk for fracture. Subsequent DXA scans for these 63 women showed that 36 were osteoporotic, 19 were osteopenic, and eight had normal bone density. Concurrent VFA revealed 25 spine factures in which 14 were osteoporotic, seven were osteopenic, and four had normal bone density. The efficacy of the pre-BMD FRAX score to identify those patients with low bone mass by DXA was 873% (55/63). When VFA was combined with BMD to identify those patients with high risk (osteopenia, osteoporosis, or spinal fracture), the efficacy of the pre-BMD score increased to 93.7% (59/63). According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, the overall concordance between pre-BMD FRAX and BMD, expressed through the kappa index, was 0.967. Compared with the evaluation when BMD was used alone, there was a significant increase in efficacy in identifying women who need treatment using BMD plus VFA or FRAX plus BMD. Furthermore, the highest efficacy was achieved when FRAX with BMD and VFA was used. Conclusion: The pre-BMD FRAX score not only efficiently predicts postmenopausal patients who are potentially at risk and might require treatment but also reduces unnecessary DXA use. Concurrent VFA during DXA use increases spine fracture detection. This improvement in diagnostic efficacy allows clinicians to provide the most appropriate therapeutic recommendation.
