Ten Year Fracture Risk
12-3
Ten Year Fracture Risk Questionnaire
The Ten Year Fracture Risk Questionnaire must be filled out to create a Ten Year Fracture Risk assessment.
Once the questionnaire has been filled out, the information is passed to subsequent visits; therefore the ques-
tionnaire does not have to be filled out if a patient with a previous Ten Year Fracture Risk assessment has no
change in risk factors.
Ethnic Group
Select the Ethnic Group that is to be used for the Ten Year Fracture Risk assessment. Note that this ethnic
group selection is different from the selection made in the Patient Demographics screen, which is used to cal-
culate the T-score. Only the groups shown in the list are available. If the patient's ethnic group is not listed, use
the ethnic group for which the epidemiology of osteoporosis most closely approximates the patient's ethnic
group. Very high risk is represented by Sweden and US. High risk is represented by the UK and Italy. Moderate
risk is represented by China, Spain, France and Japan. Low risk is represented by Turkey.
Risk Factors
Risk Factors are classified as High Risk, Moderate Risk, and Low Risk. The following risk factors are available
for selection:
Previous Fracture: The presence in adulthood of a prior spontaneous fracture or a fracture arising from light
trauma is cause for increased risk. A positive response is graded as a High Risk Indicator.
Glucocorticoids: A report of exposure to oral glucocorticoids or exposure to oral glucocorticoids for over three
months at a daily dose of 5mg or more is considered an indicator of risk. A positive response is graded as a
High Risk Indicator.
Parent Fractured Hip: The presence of a hip fracture--in the absence of significant trauma--in a parent is
cause for increased risk. A positive response is graded as a Moderate Risk Indicator.
Rheumatoid Arthritis: A report indicating the patient has a confirmed diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis is con-
sidered an indicator of risk. A positive response is graded as a Moderate Risk Indicator.
