Table 6 Minimum required ten-year fracture risk for prophylaxis to be definitely cost-effective (ICER < $50,000/QALY). The ten-year probability was calculated while assuming a constant risk rate as it is easier to interpret than the 1-year probability. These minimum required risks depend on how they are distributed throughout different age groups
