Table 2:
Overall fracture | Pathologic fracture | Non-pathologic fracture | |||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Fracture present (n=26) | Fracture absent (n=62) | Odds ratio (95% CI)* | Fracture present (n=16) | Fracture absent (n=70) | Odds ratio (95% CI)* | Fracture present (n=15) | Fracture absent (n=76) | Odds ratio (95% CI)* | |
Femoral Neck BMD (T-Score) (mean) | −0.83 | −0.28 | 1.43 (0.98, 2.21) p=0.07 |
−1.06 | −0.26 | 1.80 (1.10, 3.25) p = 0.03 |
−0.94 | −0.33 | 1.52 (0.95, 2.63) p = 0.11 |
Femur Strength (kN) (mean) | 4.94 | 5.30 | 1.23 (0.87. 1.81) p=0.26 |
4.64 | 5.37 | 1.63 (0.99 2.71) p = 0.055 |
4.99 | 5.22 | 1.14 (0.75, 1.80) p = 0.57 |
Odds Ratios reflect odds of subsequent fracture for lower BMD or strength, relative to higher BMD or strength, and are controlled for use of antiresorptive therapy.
NOTE: BMD = Bone mineral density.
