The estimation of bone fractures risk as a mean to enhance the quality of curative rehabilitative measures applied to patients with rheumatoid joint inflammation

Abstract

The study was implemented to determine the absolute risk of bone fractures in patients with rheumatoid arthritis using FRAX technique. The sample included 624 patients out of 834 women from National Rheumatoid Institute aged 40 years and older with diagnose of rheumatoid joint inflammation. All patients were tested with FRAX technique. The study revealed that 54,0% of patients had high or medium risk of bone fractures. The application of FRAX technique to evaluate the absolute risk of bone fracture occurrence in patients with rheumatoid arthritis permits to detect patients with higher risk of osteoporotic bone fractures and timely to recommend treatment, prevention and rehabilitation activities.
