Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to evaluate how trabecular bone score (TBS), along with fracture risk assessment tools (FRAX), correlates with the occurrence of vertebral fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
- - Data were gathered from 69 RA patients, revealing that while TBS alone did not show a significant association with vertebral fractures, FRAX scores indicated a strong relationship.
- - The results suggested that the MOF-FRAX score combined with bone mineral density (BMD) was the most reliable predictor for vertebral fractures in this group, outperforming TBS in terms of predictive value.
Objectives: We aimed to study trabecular bone score (TBS) association with disease parameters and vertebral fractures (VFs) in patients with axial spondyloarthritis.
Methods: Patients diagnosed with axial spondyloarthritis were included in this cross-sectional study. Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry was used to measure BMD in the lumbar spine and TBS.
