Article Title: Incongruent Treatment Recommendations Between Left and Right Hip Bone Mineral Densities
doi: 10.7759/cureus.69923
Figure Lengend Snippet: Diagnoses were made by T scores at the lumbar spine, right hip, left hip, and distal radius in individuals undergoing bone density measurement with congruent and incongruent treatment recommendations at hip sites. Treatment was recommended by FRAX if the 10-year probability of MOF was ≥ 20% and or hip fracture ≥ 3%. Continuous variables are expressed as mean with standard deviation (SD) when normally distributed and subjected to the two-sample t-test. DXA: dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry; FRAX: fracture risk assessment tool; L-spine: lumbar spine; RTH: right total hip; LTH: left total hip; RFN: right femoral neck; LFN: left femoral neck; MOF: major osteoporotic fracture.
Article Snippet: All individuals underwent BMD measurement with the same machine (Horizon W S/N 301623 M (Hologic, Inc., Marlborough, MA) utilizing fast array mode).
Techniques: Standard Deviation
