FRAX® and the future of fracture risk assessment
Date: September 7, 2021 Speaker: Prof. Nicholas Harvey
Key learning objectives include:
- To review the clinical risk factors applied in FRAX® risk estimation, especially prior fragility fracture and its
definition. - To recognise changes in fracture probabilities with the incorporation of prior fracture recency into FRAX®
calculations. - To understand the limitations of current clinical guidelines and the possibilities of the adjusted FRAX® risk calculation to guide interventions, especially for individuals at very high risk of fracture.
