FRAX Fracture Risk: a planned Super Calculator tool. Covers age, sex and weight. Stub page: the tool, its formula and a worked example are not published yet.
FRAX Fracture Risk Calculator is a planned calculator in the health section of Super Calculator, covering clinical dosing and scores.
What this calculator will compute
Inputs: age, sex, weight, height, eleven risk factors, femoral neck BMD T-score and country model.
Outputs: 10-year major osteoporotic fracture probability (%) and 10-year hip fracture probability (%).
Formula, recorded as scope and not yet verified against a primary source: FRAX, University of Sheffield, estimates 10-year probability of a major osteoporotic fracture and of hip fracture from age, sex, weight, height, prior fracture, parental hip fracture, smoking, glucocorticoid use, rheumatoid arthritis, secondary osteoporosis, alcohol intake and optionally femoral neck bone mineral density, using country-specific calibration models.
