Résumé

This paper revised the fixed intervention thresholds (ITs) based on the Sri Lankan fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) published in 2013 and introduced new ITs, hybrid and two-tier, aiming to help clinicians in the management of postmenopausal osteoporosis. The hybrid and two-tier ITs have a better discriminatory power than age-dependent and revised fixed ITs. This study revised the Sri Lankan FRAX®-based intervention thresholds (ITs) previously published in 2013. Age-dependent ITs were estimated, from 50-80 years with 5-year intervals, using a Sri Lankan FRAX® algorithm for a woman with a BMI of 24.8 kg/m The mean (SD) age and BMI of the subjects (n = 653) were 62 (8) years and 24.8 (1.2) kg/m The new fixed MOFR is slightly lower than the previous value and hybrid and two-tier ITs perform better than age-dependent and fixed ITs.
