CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE OF DEXA SCAN IN EARLY DIAGNOSIS OF OSTEOPOROSIS IN MULTI TRANSFUSED THALASSEMIA MAJOR PATIENTSDhaval J. ShahDeepmala A. BudhraniIJSR - International Journal of Scientific Research(IJSR), IJSR
BMD measured during the distal forearm DEXA scan was a better predictor of DRF risk than BMD measured during the central DEXA (OR=2.33;p=0.031 for the one-third radius, and OR=3.98;p<0.001 for the ultradistal radius). The distal one-third radius BMD was correlated with hip BMD, rather...
The FRAX score is a web-based clinical scale designed by the WHO to measure in individual patients the 10-year risk of fracture: it divides the level of risk into high, intermediate and low and can be calculated with or without BMD score. Using guidelines from the National Osteoporosis ...
This, together with NOGG, is used to define whether patients should receive treatment, have further investigation with DEXA scan or receive lifestyle advice only. The recent NICE Clinical Guidelines (CG 146) promotes the initial use of FRAX (or QFracture) in the majority of patients at risk ...
