| incident fracture עשוי להתרחש Explanation: שבר שעשוי להתרחש -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-07-21 18:41:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Methods of defining incident fractures Several approaches to identification of a new vertebral fracture were described in detail by Black. They concluded that a 20-25% reduction in any vertebral height (anterior, posterior or middle) was the most practical method of assessing an incident fracture. Other studies also require a 4mm absolute loss of height compared to the previous xray. Lunt et al found that combining these criteria with a requirement that the newly fractured vertebra also met the definition of a prevalent fracture increased the specificity. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 1 hr (2010-07-21 18:43:00 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://courses.washington.edu/bonephys/fxdef.html |

| incident fracture incident Explanation: the term incident in this context, is "borrowed" from statistics. researchers of fractures due to osteoporosis are interested in distinguishing between the prevalence of fractures and incidence of fractures in the populations they study. many, if not all, pts enrol in these studies with pre-existing fractures. thus the population in these studies has a high prevalence of fractures, to begin with. one of the primary goals of the osteoporosis studies is to observe the number of new fractures that these pts develop over a specifically defined time interval, which is usually the study follow-up period after receiving the intervention. the rate of new fractures over a specific period of time = incidence. hence the term "incident fractures" - another way of saying, new fractures observed over a defined period of time. in your study questionnaire, pts are asked: how many fractures have you have to date = I have had 5 previous fractures and how many have you had in the last 12 months since you started taking the "magic pill" we gave you = I have had 1 fracture. ergo - this pt has had 1 incident fracture. in Hebrew prevalence = שכיחות incidence = היארעות, הימצאות, שיעור .......לאורך זמן מוגדר eytan -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2010-07-21 19:37:15 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I think היארעות may be a bit "too fancy" a word for the regular patient. maybe: how many fractures have you had since ... / in the past .... or something similar. כמה שברים חדשים היו לך מאז ש or something similar eytan |
