The FRAX® tool is an individual patient model that integrates clinical risk factors for fracture as well as bone mineral density at femoral neck. The objective of the present study was to assess fracture risk with the FRAX tool in HIV infected population to identify patients at increased absolute fracture risk and determine those patients who would be advantaged by further testing with bone mineral density.

Abstract
The FRAX® tool is an individual patient model that integrates clinical risk factors for fracture as well as bone mineral density at femoral neck. The objective of the present study was to assess fracture risk with the FRAX tool in HIV infected population to identify patients at increased absolute fracture risk and determine those patients who would be advantaged by further testing with bone mineral density.
