“…Vi ved fx at 63% af bruddene vil ske blandt kvinder, som ikke ville blive identificeret ud fra en knoglemineralmåling, fordi også kvinder med en knoglemasse over den vedtagne laveste vaerdi, oplever knoglebrud (Sheldon 1992).…”

“…Og selvom en person har nedsat knoglemasse, er det ikke sikkert, at personen vil få et brud (Marshall 1996;Sheldon 1992). Dette saetter spørgsmålstegn ved DXAskanningens evne til at forudsige brud (Kazanjian 1999), og om den kan bruges til at kategorisere kronisk sygdom?…”

“…Each is a synthesis of available evidence on a chosen clinical topic (p 77). 6 Sorting out those aspects of care which contribute to good quality care and are useful for audit can be difficult. Clinical interventions which are supported by good clinical studies are appropriate subjects for audit.7 In the series "Purchasing for Quality: the Providers' View" expert providers will be asked to state the care they would purchase for a particular condition, with evidence to support their purchasing decisions, and to indicate aspects of care amenable to audit (p 65, p 68).8 9 This will help to inform purchasers and stimulate the debate about quality in contracts.…”

Population screening for low bone mineral density: Do non-attenders have a lower risk of osteoporosis?

et al. 1994

Poor compliance may be detrimental to the effectiveness of a screening programme if those at greatest risk of the disease do not attend. Therefore we undertook a study to test whether non-attenders to a screening programme for low bone density, a risk factor for osteoporosis, were at a differential risk of low bone density compared with attenders. Seven hundred and eighty-nine women aged 45-49 years living within 32 km of Aberdeen were selected at random from the Community Health Index and invited to attend for screening for low bone density as a risk of factor for osteoporosis. Attenders and non-attenders were surveyed regarding their risk factors for osteoporosis. Non-attenders were significantly heavier than attenders. In addition, 6 non-attenders who subsequently chose to attend had significantly higher body weight and bone mineral density, at Ward's triangle, than initial attenders. Non-attenders to a screening service for bone density may be at lower risk of developing osteoporosis. Non-attendance, therefore, would not be detrimental to the cost-effectiveness of a screening service for bone density. However, this study indicates there is a potential for response bias in studies of bone density and osteoporosis.
