Incident Radiographic Vfx Versus Clinically Diagnosed Vfx

(A) Proportion of incident radiographic vfx also diagnosed as incident clinical vfx
Category of radiographic vfx n % (95% CI) with clinical vfx
at ±1 vertebral level
% (95% CI) with clinical vfx
at same vertebral level
Any (SQ grade change ≥1) 237 13.5 (9.4–18.5) 12.2 (8.3–17.1)
 SQ grade change=1 84 8.3 (3.4–16.42) 8.3 (3.4–16.4)
 SQ grade change≥2 153 16.3 (10.9–23.2) 14.4 (9.2–21.0)
(B) Proportion of incident clinical vfx also identified as incident radiographic vfx
Category of clinical vfx n % (95% CI) with radiographic vfx
at ±1 vertebral level
% (95% CI) with radiographic vfx
at same vertebral level
Any (SQ grade change ≥1) 37 86.5 (71.2–95.5) 78.4 (61.8–90.2)
 SQ grade change=1 6 33.3 (4.3–77.7) 33.3 (4.3–77.7)
 SQ grade change≥2 31 96.8 (83.3–99.9) 87.1 (70.2–96.4)

vfx=vertebral fracture; SQ=semiquantitative.
