Implication

Cross-sectional cohort study assesses trabecular bone score's role in fracture risk for women with rheumatoid arthritis, indicating improved stratification.

Key Points

Assess the impact of trabecular bone score on fracture risk compared to bone mineral density in women with rheumatoid arthritis.
Monocentric cross-sectional study of 152 women with RA
Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry for BMD and TBS evaluation
Logistic regression analyses to identify predictors of degraded TBS
38.8% of patients classified as osteoporotic based on BMD
69.1% had degraded TBS values
Lower lumbar spine BMD (OR 3.62, 95% CI 1.67-7.83, p=0.001) linked to degraded TBS
