Comparison of OSTA index and KKOS scoring system for prediction of osteoporosis in postmenopausal women who attended Siriraj Menopause Clinic.

Abstract

Both OSTA index and KKOS scoring system had good performance in identifying osteoporosis of femoral neck and total hip but both indices had low sensitivity in identifying osteoporosis of spines. The authors recommend using OSTA index for screening osteoporosis because it is comparable in diagnostic performance and OSTA is more convenient and simpler than KKOS scoring system.
