Comparison of DXA-based versus CT-based indices to predict prevalent fracture history in men with spinal cord injury
Authors' conclusion
CT imaging may have clinical utility to improve fracture risk prediction in adults with SCI.
Study context
- Population
- Men with known spinal cord injurymen with SCI
- Participants
- 36 men
- Comparison
- DXA-based vs CT-based indices to identify prevalent fracture history
- Outcome
- Discrimination (AUC) of prevalent fracture history

Performance
As reported in the abstract
Discrimination of prevalent fracture history (AUC)
- CT-based indices outperformed DXA-based indices at all sites
- Highest AUC: trabecular BMD at the proximal tibial epiphysis
