Abstract
Objectives: As many patients with osteoporosis remain undiagnosed, we aimed to develop a simple method to efficiently screen for osteoporosis using a combination of anteroposterior hip X-ray assessment and the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA), which is calculated as (body weight - age) × 0.2.
Methods: One hundred Japanese women (age: 73 ± 11 years, body weight: 54.4 ± 11.1 kg) who underwent hip surgery, anteroposterior hip X-ray, and DXA were included. Based on the DXA results of the total proximal femur, 35 cases were diagnosed with osteoporosis. Fifteen orthopaedic surgeons visually inspected the hip X-ray images and scored the suspicion of osteoporosis on a scale of 1-4 (1: very unlikely, 4: very suspicious), which is referred to as "pred-score." In addition, OSTA was calculated as a continuous variable (OSTA score). Osteoporosis was screened using the pred-score and OSTA score, and both scores were analyzed using the receiver operating characteristic curves.
Results: The area under the curves (AUCs) of the pred-score and OSTA score were 0.626-0.875 and 0.817 across surgeons, respectively. When both scores were used, the AUC for screening osteoporosis ranged from 0.821 to 0.915 across surgeons. Significant improvement from AUCs calculated with the pred-score or OSTA score was found in 11 surgeons (73.3%).
Conclusion: The combination of X-ray assessment and OSTA can be used to screen for osteoporosis and has the potential to be used as a new simple screening tool in daily clinical practice.
