ObjectivesTo evaluate two radiographic and three clinical indices as predictors of future osteoporotic fractures.Study designIn a prospective, longitudinal study with a 10-year fracture follow-up, the two radiographic indices, mandibular cortical erosion (normal, mild/moderate erosion, and severe erosion of the inferior cortex) and cortex thickness, were assessed using panoramic radiographs of 411 women, aged 62-78 years. The clinical indices were the fracture assessment tool, FRAX(R), the osteoporosis index of risk, OSIRIS, and the osteoporosis self-assessment tool, OST.ResultsThe relative risks (RR) for future fracture were significant for FRAX(R)>15%, 4.1 (95% CI: 2.4-7.2), and for severely eroded cortices, 1.7 (95% CI: 1.1-2.8). Cortical thickness <3mm, OSIRIS, and OST were not significant fracture predictors (RR 1.1, 1.4, and 1.5 respectively). For the five tested fracture predictors, Fisher's exact test gave the following p-values for differences between fractured and non-fractured groups: FRAX( R) <0.001, cortical erosion 0.023, OST 0.078, OSIRIS 0.206, and cortical thickness 0.678. The area under the curve (AUC) was 0.69 for FRAX(R)>15%, 0.58 for cortical erosion, and 0.52 for cortical thickness. Adding OSIRIS and OST did not change AUC significantly.ConclusionFRAX(R) and severely eroded cortices predicted fracture but cortical thickness, OSIRIS, and OST did not.
