• The use of clinical risk factors enhances the performance of BMD in the prediction of hip and osteoporotic fractures in men and women (2007, neutral): “In the other cohorts, fractures at sites considered to be characteristic for osteoporosis were extracted [46].”
• Alcohol intake as a risk factor for fracture (2005, background): “In the other cohorts (Rotterdam and DOES), fractures at sites considered to be characteristic for osteoporosis were extracted [23].”
• Body mass index as a predictor of fracture risk: A meta-analysis (2005, background): “In the other cohorts, fractures at sites considered to be characteristic for osteoporosis were extracted [37].”
• An estimate of the worldwide prevalence and disability associated with osteoporotic fractures (2006, methodology): “Other fractures associated with osteoporosis (“osteoporotic fracture”) comprised fractures of the forearm, humerus, spine, pelvis, other femoral fractures, tibia and fibula (in women), ribs, clavicle, scapula, and sternum [5].”
• An estimate of the worldwide prevalence, mortality and disability associated with hip fracture (2004, background): “Excess mortality by age and sex used data from Sweden [18] and in the base case assumed, therefore, that in each region the age-specific relative risk of death after hip fracture compared with that of the local population was similar to that of Sweden.”
• Smoking and fracture risk: a meta-analysis (2005, background): “In the other cohorts (Sheffield, Rotterdam, Rochester, Gothenburg I and II, Hiroshima) fractures at sites considered characteristic for osteoporosis were extracted [33].”
• FRAX™ and the assessment of fracture probability in men and women from the UK (2008, background): “The validity of the assumption cannot be directly tested, but in the case of long bone fractures, there is a close concordance of relative incidence at different fracture sites despite marked differences in absolute risk [31].”
• European guidance for the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women (2008, background): “Several studies have examined the costeffectiveness of intervention thresholds expressed in terms of fracture probability [109, 110, 117, 122, 285, 286].”
• Assessment of fracture risk (2005, background): “On the assumption that the ratio between morbidity from hip fracture and from other fractures is similar to the costs of hip fracture and other fractures, intervention thresholds can be established on the basis of cost utility [54].”
