Simplified algorithm with percentage adjustment of 10-year probabilities of a hip fracture or a major osteoporotic fracture by age according to dose of glucocorticoids (108).

	GC dose	Age
Hip fracture		40 yr	50 yr	60 yr	70 yr	80 yr	90 yr
Low	< 2.5	-40%	-40%	-40%	-40%	-30%	-30%
Medium	2.5-7.5	Referent group
High	≥7.5	+25%	+25%	+25%	+20%	+10%	+10%
MOF
Low	< 2.5	-20%	-20%	-15%	-20%	-20%	-20%
Medium	2.5-7.5	Referent group
High	≥7.5	+20%	+20%	+15%	+15%	+10%	+10%

MOF, Major osteoporotic fracture; GC, glucocorticoid dose, expressed as mg prednisolone equivalents/day.
