1. In this case-cohort study, the researchers sampled from 111,694 men and women aged 65 or older who had a prior hip CT scan, a DXA within three years of the CT and no prior hip fracture.
2. The study authors then compared 1,959 patients with subsequent hip fracture with 1,979 randomly selected sex-stratified controls, analyzing their CT scans blinded to all other data.
3. Sensitivity for predicting hip fracture was higher for BCT than DXA, with comparable specificity.
