What if the silent disease comes with the reality? Comment on: Prevalence of bone mineral density testing and osteoporosis management following low-and high-energy fractures
Abstract
We read with interest the article entitled “Prevalence of bone mineral density testing and osteoporosis management following low- and high-energy fractures” by Angthong et al. in Vol. 47, No 5 (2013) of your journal. [1] We congratulate them for their inspiring work. However, the study itself has some methodological drawbacks, and contains false interpretations of results that lead to misunderstanding: 1. Inclusion of both low- and high-energy fracture patients to test probability of DEXA examination renders the criteria inconsistent.
