Diagnostic Value of Radiographic Singh Index Compared to Dual-Energy X-Ray Absorptiometry Scan in Diagnosing Osteoporosis: A Systematic Review.

Objectives: Since various medications can control the rate of fractures and subsequent complications of osteoporosis, the early detection of the disease is crucial. This systematic study aimed to compare the diagnostic accuracy of Singh index (SI) with dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) as a benchmark standard for diagnosing osteoporosis.

Methods: The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analyses (PRISMA) were utilized in the current study.
