| Abstract | OBJECTIVES: To evaluate FRAX 10-year fracture probabilities depending on the recommended management strategy in early postmenopausal women who were untreated at baseline. METHODS: We conducted a descriptive study in 494 untreated women aged 45-60 years seen for the first time at a menopause clinic. Risk factors, physical findings, and bone mineral density (BMD) values determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry were collected. At the end of the clinic visit, 128 (26%) women were prescribed medications. Then, the 10-year fracture probability was estimated using the FRAX tool. RESULTS: The mean FRAX probability was 3.9%+/-2% for major osteoporotic fractures and 0.8%+/-0.9% for hip fractures. Women who were prescribed medications had significantly (P<0.001) higher probabilities than the other women. The proportion of women prescribed medications increased significantly (P<0.0001) with the FRAX probability, from 7.8% in the lowest quintile (Q1) to 50.5% in Q5. Hormone replacement therapy or raloxifene contributed 92% of the prescriptions in patients with FRAX probabilities in the first four quintiles and bisphosphonates 70% of prescriptions in patients with probabilities in Q5. CONCLUSIONS: Early postmenopausal women had low to moderate fracture risks (FRAX, 3-4%). The indications and type of drugs prescribed correlated with FRAX probabilities. Treatment thresholds should be defined to optimize the management of osteoporosis. In early postmenopausal women, treatment thresholds may vary with the type of treatment. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
