Core Tip
Core Tip: A fracture risk-prediction model was created and validated using the medical records of 80 patients with spinal osteoporosis. The model utilized accessible clinical, biochemical, and radiological information to accurately evaluate the patient's fracture risk. Factors significantly associated with fracture risk included age, sex, body mass index, smoking history, bone mineral density, vertebral trabecular alterations, and prior vertebral fractures. The final model had strong discriminatory capabilities, as evidenced by an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.93. This model has potential in identifying high-risk individuals for early intervention and guiding appropriate preventive actions to reduce the impact of osteoporosis-related fractures.
