Heel QUSs were both predictive of hip fracture risk, whereas the phalanges QUS was not.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Introduction: As the number of hip fracture is expected to increase during these next decades, it is important to develop strategies to detect subjects at risk. Quantitative bone ultrasound (QUS), an ionizing radiation-free method, which is transportable, could be interesting for this purpose.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Materials and Methods: The Swiss Evaluation of the Methods of Measurement of Osteoporotic Fracture Risk (SEMOF) study is a multicenter cohort study, which compared three QUSs for the assessment of hip fracture risk in a sample of 7609 elderly ambulatory women \u226570 years of age. Two QUSs measured the heel (Achilles+; GE-Lunar and Sahara; Hologic), and one measured the heel (DBM Sonic 1200; IGEA). The Cox proportional hazards regression was used to estimate the hazard of the first hip fracture, adjusted for age, BMI, and center, and the area under the ROC curves were calculated to compare the devices and their parameters.<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Results: From the 7609 women who were included in the study, 7062 women 75.2 \u00b1 3.1 (SD) years of age were prospectively followed for 2.9 \u00b1 0.8 years. Eighty women reported a hip fracture. A decrease by 1 SD of the QUS variables corresponded to an increase of the hip fracture risk from 2.3 (95% CI, 1.7, 3.1) to 2.6 (95% CI, 1.9, 3.4) for the three variables of Achilles+ and from 2.2 (95% CI, 1.7, 3.0) to 2.4 (95% CI, 1.8, 3.2) for the three variables of Sahara. Risk gradients did not differ significantly among the variables of the two heel QUS devices. On the other hand, the phalanges QUS (DBM Sonic 1200) was not predictive of hip fracture risk, with an adjusted hazard risk of 1.2 (95% CI, 0.9, 1.5), even after reanalysis of the digitalized data and using different cut-off levels (1700 or 1570 m\/s).<\/jats:p>\n               <jats:p>Conclusions: In this elderly women population, heel QUS devices were both predictive of hip fracture risk, whereas the phalanges QUS device was not.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1359\/jbmr.060615","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,8,30]],"date-time":"2006-08-30T04:29:34Z","timestamp":1156912174000},"page":"1457-1463","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":82,"title":["Prediction
