Clinical trials: Fracture Risk Assessment
Osteoporosis, Postmenopausal, Osteoporotic Fractures
Evaluation of a Decision Analysis Model in the DASH-Osteo Decision Aid.
Fragility fractures, often caused by low bone mineral density, are a major health concern for postmenopausal women. One way to prevent these fractures is by taking medication, but deciding whether to start treatment can be…
