The fracture intervention trial

The fracture intervention trial

Abstract

FRAX estimates the 10-year probability of major osteoporotic fracture. Clodronate and bazedoxifene reduced non-vertebral and clinical fracture more effectively on a relative scale in women with higher FRAX scores. We used data from the Fracture Intervention Trial (FIT) to evaluate the interaction between FRAX score and treatment with alendronate. We combined the Clinical Fracture (CF) arm and Vertebral Fracture (VF) arm of FIT. The CF and VF arm of FIT randomized 4432 and 2027 women respectively to placebo or alendronate for 4 and 3 years respectively. FRAX risk factors were assessed at baseline. FRAX scores were calculated by WHO……..
