fraxplus FRAX and FRAXplus Update

We have recently launched a parallel website to bring the FRAX web platform into the modern era, usable across a wide range of devices. (www.fraxplus.org)

FRAXplus® contains the most up-to-date FRAX calculators, freely available.

Additional features include access to an individualised FRAX account for storage of FRAX calculations and a beta-version, fee-based access to modifications of the FRAX probability (e.g. recency of fracture or falls in the previous year).

Once the FRAXplus® website is available in all the FRAX languages, the old FRAX website (https://frax.shef.ac.uk/FRAX) will be retired.

Recepción a FRAX®

Los modelos FRAX® se han desarrollado a partir del estudio de grupos poblacionales de Europa, América del Norte, Asia y Australia. La herramienta FRAX® es un programa informático que se encuentra disponible en esta WEB. También se pueden descargar otras versiones simplificadas que utilizan los factores de riesgo que haya disponibles.

Los algoritmos de FRAX® calculan la probabilidad de fractura a 10 años, proporcionando la probabilidad de fractura de cadera y de las fracturas osteoporóticas más importantes a 10 años (fractura clínica vertebral, antebrazo, cadera u hombro).

Clarification

The University of Sheffield launched the FRAX tool in 2008. At that time the University hosted the The World Health Organisation (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Metabolic Bone Diseases (1991-2010), and the FRAX tool is based on data generated from that centre. However, FRAX was neither developed or endorsed by WHO . Any references to the ‘WHO tool’ or to the WHO Collaborating Centre after it finished its work in 2010 are incorrect.
