The Accuracy of Prevalent Vertebral Fracture Detection in Children Using Targeted Case‐Finding Approaches

Published: Dec 17, 2019
Abstract
Due to concerns about cumulative radiation exposure in the pediatric population, it is not standard practice to perform spine radiographs in most conditions that predispose to vertebral fracture (VF). In this study we examined the accuracy of two clinical predictors, back pain and lumbar spine bone mineral density (LS BMD), to derive four case-finding paradigms for detection of prevalent VF (PVF). Subjects were 400 children at risk for PVF...
