Registry-Based Model Predicts Hip Fracture Risk Better than Current Screening

New AI tool predicts hip fracture risk years ahead

Preventing hip fractures depends on identifying people at high risk early. Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have now developed a new clinical decision support tool that makes this possible-without requiring clinic visits or patient questionnaires.

AI Tool Better than Current Screening for Hip Fracture Risk

A machine-learning algorithm can predict the risk of hip fracture from routinely collected health data better than current screening without needing to see the patient, according to a study in than 3.5 million older individuals. The Fracture Risk Assessment and Classification Using Real-world Evidence and Machine Learning (FRACTURE-ML) tool could help shift hip-fracture care from reacting after an injury to preventing it in the first place. The …

Registry-based model predicts hip fracture risk better than current screening

A machine-learning tool built from Swedish national health registry data can predict hip fracture risk with high accuracy without an in-person assessment and identifies far more at-risk individuals than current clinical screening practices, according to a study published Aug. 27 in the journal PLOS Medicine by Kristian Axelsson and Mattias Lorentzon of the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and colleagues.

Advancing hip fracture prediction with AI

An AI tool built from Swedish national health registry data can predict hip fracture risk, and identify more at-risk individuals than current clinical screening practices, according to a new study.
