Background: Osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) identify people at high risk of future fractures, but despite this, less than a third come to clinical attention. The objective of this study was to develop a clinical tool to aid healthcare profess...

Bisphosphonates have been found to be effective in preventing fragility fractures. However, their comparative effectiveness in populations at risk has yet to be defined. In light of recent clinical trials, we aimed to compare four bisphosphonates (al...

BACKGROUND: Bisphosphonates are effective in preventing fragility fractures; however, high rates of adherence are needed to preserve clinical benefits. OBJECTIVE: To investigate persistence and compliance to oral and intravenous bisphosphonates (alen...

Addition of symptoms to traditional risk factors improves prediction of those at high risk of vertebral fractures: Results of the Vfrac study (2022)
Journal Article
Clark, E., Khera, T., Hunt, L., Gooberman-Hill, R., Paskins, Z., Peters, T., …Davis, S. (2022). Addition of symptoms to traditional risk factors improves prediction of those at high risk of vertebral fractures: Results of the Vfrac study. Journal of Bone and Mineral Research, 37(S1),

Less than a third of osteoporotic vertebral fractures (OVFs) come to clinical attention. This is due to a variety of reasons including inadequate understanding of the clinical triggers necessary to refer high risk individuals for spinal radiographs....
