Guest: Sanford Baim, MD
Host: Lee Freedman, MD
Dr. Baim discusses how to apply the FRAX model in clinical practice. How does the FRAX score combine with local assessments of cost-effectiveness and clinical judgment in order to give guidance on how and when to treat patients with bone loss? Why might a 45 year old with a T-score of -2.5 not need treatment but a 70 year old with a T-score of -1.4 best be treated aggressively?
