CSV Bulk calculations specifications: FRAX

This type of CSV allows FRAX score calculations for each row.

Input Variables

A CSV input file should have 13 columns. An optional header can be sent as first line of the CSV file:

Score unit,Country,Age,Sex,BMI,Previous fracture,Parental history,Current smoker,Gluccocorticoid,Rheumatoid Arthritis,Secondary osteoporosis,Alcohol,Femoral neck BMD
# Col Variable Description Possible Values
1 A Score unit Unit for variable 13 t: T-score, z: Z-score. Unit for parameter 13 (BMD) described below.
2 B Country Code for country and ethnicity Integer. Get valid countries' id from the API.
3 C Age Age in years Positive real number (40-90), can have decimals. Out of bound values will be capped.
4 D Sex Gender 0: men, 1: women
5 E BMI Body Mass Index Positive real number (kg/m²), can have decimals
6 F Previous fracture History of previous fracture 0: no, 1: yes
7 G Parental history Parent(s) with hip fracture history 0: no, 1: yes
8 H Current smoker Current smoking status 0: no, 1: yes
9 I Gluccocorticoid Gluccocorticoid use 0: no, 1: yes
10 J Rheumatoid Arthritis Presence of rheumatoid arthritis 0: no, 1: yes
11 K Secondary osteoporosis Presence of secondary osteoporosis 0: no, 1: yes
12 L Alcohol More than two drinks a day 0: no, 1: yes
13 M Femoral neck BMD Bone mineral density measurement Real number (T-score or Z-score). The T-score for both genders should be derived by comparing the individual BMD to the young normal FEMALE NHANES III reference range for the make of scanner that you are using.

Output Results

Once processed, you will receive an output file with, for each row, the results append to the original line (the variables above).

# Col Result Description
14 N FRAX MOF wo BMD major osteoporotic fracture risk without BMD
15 O FRAX Hip wo BMD hip fracture risk without BMD
16 P FRAX MOF w BMD major osteoporotic fracture risk with BMD
17 Q FRAX HIP w BMD hip fracture risk with BMD

Output warning or error reporting

If an error for any adjustments of the row has been triggered, a specific message will be added at the end of the line.
