The utility of tbs-adjusted bmd t-score in the discrimination of the major osteoporotic fractures in the postmenopausal women of the rotterdam and the osteolaus studies

Lumbar spine (LS) trabecular bone score (TBS) can be used to modify the output from FRAX to enhance fracture prediction. Leslie et al. (ASBMR 2017) proposed an alternative approach for using TBS in clinical practice based upon a "risk-equivalent" offset adjustment to the bone mineral density (BMD) T-score. The aim of this study is to test whether the TBS-adjusted BMD T-score (BMDTBS T-score) outperforms BMD T-score in the detection of major osteoporotic fractures (MOF).
