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.
Dobrodošli u FRAX
FRAX alat je razvila Svetska zdravstvena organizacija za evaluaciju rizika preloma kod pacijenata. Temelji se na individualnom modelu za svakog pacijenta koji objedinjuje rizik povezan sa kliničkim faktorima rizika kao i sa BMD vrata butne kosti.

FRAX modeli su razvijeni na temelju istraživanja na populacijskim kohortama iz Evrope, Severne Amerike, Azije i Australije. U svom najsofisticiranijem obliku, FRAX alat je kompjuterski pokrenut i dostupan je na ovoj internet stranici. Moguće je i preuzeti i nekoliko pojednostavljenih papirnih verzija, koje se zasnivaju na broju faktora rizika.
FRAX algoritmi prikazuju 10-godišnju verovatnoću preloma. Izlazni podatak je 10-godišnja verovatnoća preloma kuka i 10-godišnja verovatnoća velikog (ozbiljnog) preloma uzrokovanih osteoporozom (klinički prelom karlice, podlaktice, kuka ili ramena)
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.
