Prediction of the Risk of Osteoporotic Fractures Using Bayesian Belief Networks

Assignment of patients to fracture risk groups helps to select the optimum treatment strategy and decrease the probability of osteoporotic fractures. This article presents a novel approach to assessment of the risk of osteoporotic fractures using Bayesian networks. Results obtained using this approa...
