Fracture Risk Prediction Using the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool in Individuals With Cancer.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

The Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) is a fracture risk prediction tool for 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fracture (MOF) and hip fracture in the general population. Whether FRAX is useful in individuals with cancer is uncertain.

Objective

To determine the performance of FRAX for predicting incident fractures in individuals with cancer.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective population-based cohort study included residents of Manitoba, Canada, with and without cancer diagnoses from 1987 to 2014. Diagnoses were identified through the Manitoba Cancer Registry. Incident fractures to March 31, 2021, were identified in population-based health care data. Data analysis occurred between January and March 2023.
