Screening for osteoporosis has been hampered by the absence of a standardized approach to the interpretation of bone density and other risk factors. The NIH Consensus Development Conference in 2000 recommended the "Development and use of a risk algorithm for the purpose of better identifying which women will benefit from pharmacologic intervention."
The Medsurf algorithm meets this need, and the use of absolute fracture risk should supplant the use of T-scores. Another advantage of this model is that it is dynamic and can be further perfected as new risk factors become established. It also allows for estimation of therapeutic impact and thus improves and individualizes clinical decision making.
Here's how RLFP works. A physician submits a bone mineral density result by completing and submitting a secure online form. MedSurf responds instantly with a comprehensive report that helps the physician estimate an individual's risk of osteoporotic fractures.
