The effectiveness of the Fracture Risk Evaluation Model (FREM) in predicting major osteoporotic fractures and hip fractures: A register-based cohort study

摘要

Background: The FREM tool was developed for automated case finding of individuals at high imminent risk of osteoporotic fractures using health registry data. The aim of this study was to test longer- term performance of the model and the effect of applying a shorter look-back period.
