TI  - Quality and performance measures in bone densitometry. Part 2: fracture risk.
PG  - 1449-58
AB  - INTRODUCTION: This is part 2 of a core chapter of the forthcoming Report on Bone 
      Densitometry commissioned by the International Commission on Radiation Units 
      (ICRU). It is written with the aim to review definitions of quantities and units 
      used in bone densitometry research and to describe parameters and methods that 
      can be used to compare and standardize densitometric equipment and measurements. 
      Part 2 of this chapter contains the section on fracture risk. PERFORMANCE 
      MEASURES IN THE ASSESSMENT OF FRACTURE RISK: Building on concepts of risk 
      assessment, including risk ratios and odds ratios, we review statistical concepts 
      commonly used in cross-sectional and prospective fracture studies. Performance 
      measures are defined that allow a comparison of the ability of densitometry 
      techniques to assess fracture risk. DISCUSSION: The methods of discriminant 
      analysis, logistic regression, Poisson regression models, and the Cox 
      proportional hazard model are presented and compared. In addition, statistical 
      concepts to characterize risk for the individual patient are reviewed.
