Bone Mineral Density and Trabecular Bone Score in Predicting Vertebral Fractures in Male Employees of the Electricity Generating Authority of Thailand

Table 4

AUC (95% CI) for the prediction of vertebral fracture for one-SD decrease in the TBS and BMD and one-year increase in age.

	Predictor models	AUC (95% CI)
Univariate	TBS	0.667 (0.562–0.772)
	Low TBS	0.604 (0.529–0.680)
	LS-BMD	0.609 (0.497–0.722)
	TH-BMD	0.524 (0.411–0.637)
	FN-BMD	0.588 (0.479–0.696)
Combined	LS-BMD, age	0.657 (0.547–0.767)
	TH-BMD, age	0.629 (0.516–0.741)
	FN-BMD, age	0.561 (0.544–0.759)
Combined	TBS, LS-BMD, age	0.686 (0.584–0.789)
	TBS, TH-BMD, age	0.688 (0.585–0.791)
	TBS, FN-BMD, age	0.690 (0.588–0.792)
Combined	Low TBS, LS-BMD, age	0.665 (0.550–0.779)
	Low TBS, TH-BMD, age	0.672 (0.559–0.786)
	Low TBS, FN-BMD, age	0.693 (0.588–0.798)

AUC, area under the receiving operator curve; CI, confidence interval; SD, standard deviation; TBS, trabecular bone score; BMD, bone mineral density mineral density; LS, lumbar spine; TH, total hip; FN, femoral neck. Statistically significant improvement in the AUC compared with the model predicting from either a low TBS or FN-BMD.
