[Ten-year risk of osteoporotic fractures in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease estimated by FRAX
Abstract:
The study included 104 long-smoking men with COPD. The 10-year risk of osteoporotic fractures was estimated using the FRAX software. It was shown that patients with grade 2 COPD were at minimal risk of fractures of forearm, arm and vertebrae while those with COPD-4 were at maximum risk. The risk of fractures in COPD-2 was significantly different from that in COPD-3 and 4. The 10-year risk of osteoporotic fractures significantly correlated with BMI and DLCO. It is concluded that the use of FRAX makes it possible to reveal patients with COPD at risk of osteoporotic fractures.

Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Smoking is a primary risk factor for COPD, with over 80% of patients having a history of it. Patients typically experience progressive dyspnea or labored breathing, frequent coughing, and recurrent pulmonary infections. Many eventually succumb to respiratory failure, characterized by...
