Abstract
Despite the magnitude and consequences of fracture in hemodialysis patients, optimal risk assessment tools in this population are not well explored. Frailty and falls—known risk factors for fracture—are common in hemodialysis patients. While the relationship between T scores in relation to fractures in these patients is recognized, there is a paucity of data to the additional contributions of fracture assessment tool (FRAX), frailty, and falls in relation to fractures. Therefore, we intended to evaluate the clinical utility of adding these factors to T scores at the femoral neck to determine whether it enhances fracture discrimination in hemodialysis patients.
