How to use SHAFRE
Entering Patient Information
Fill in the required fields with accurate patient information, including age, gender, weight, height, and relevant medical history.
Answering Risk Factor Questions
Respond to the risk factor questions with either "yes" or "no" as applicable. Ensure completeness and accuracy in providing this information. f you are lacking information, leave it blank, and SHAFRE will adjust the algorithms accordingly.
Bone Density Measurement
If bone mineral density (BMD) measurements are available, select the manufacturer of the DXA scanner used and enter the measurement result from the femoral neck. Alternatively, you can use the T-score based on the female reference value from NHANES III. If BMD measurements are not available, leave this section blank.
Review and Interpret Results
Once all information is entered, review the results generated by the Risk Assessment Tool. Interpret the risk assessment report carefully, considering the patient's overall health status and individual risk factors.
