Predicted Observed Calibration ratio Predicted Observed Calibration ratio
MOF prediction
      FRAX MOF unadjusted 9.5 9.5 1.00 (0.97-1.04) 10.3 11.9 1.15 (1.03-1.28)
      With RA adjustment 13.1 11.9 0.91 (0.81-1.01)
      With TBS adjustment 11.7 11.9 1.02 (0.91-1.12)
      With T-score lowered 0.5 SD 12.4 11.9 0.96 (0.86-1.06)
      With age raised 10 years 12.9 11.9 0.93 (0.83-1.03)
HF prediction
      FRAX HF unadjusted 2.2 2.5 1.17 (1.08-1.25) 2.5 4.5 1.85 (1.51-2.20)
      With RA adjustment 3.4 4.5 1.35 (1.10-1.60)

      With age raised 10 years 3.7 4.5 1.22 (0.99-1.44)

Boldface indicates p-value <0.05. RA, rheumatoid arthritis. TBS, trabecular bone score. 10-year fracture probability includes competing mortality.
