Performance of Fracture Risk Assessment Tools by Race and Ethnicity: A Systematic Review for the ASBMR Task Force on Clinical Algorithms for Fracture Risk
Authors' conclusion
However, these three reports were inconclusive regarding whether discrimination of FRAX or the Garvan calculator without BMD or of FRAX with BMD for MOF or hip fracture differed between white versus black women.
Study context

- Outcome
- Performance of calculators for predicting incident fractures within and across race and ethnicity groups
- Follow-up
- Up to 10 years
