Popis: Background: Calcaneal quantitative ultrasound (QUS) is widely used in osteoporosis screening, but the cut-off values for risk stratification remain unclear. This study validates the performance of a calcaneal QUS device (CM-200) using dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) as the reference and establishes a new set of cut-off values for CM-200 in identifying subjects with osteoporosis. Methods: The bone health status of Malaysians aged &ge
40 years was assessed using CM-200 and DXA. Sensitivity, specificity, area under the curve (AUC) and the optimal cut-off values for risk stratification of CM-200 were determined using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves and Youden&rsquo
s index (J). Results: From the data of 786 subjects, CM-200 (QUS T-score <
&minus
1) showed a sensitivity of 82.1% (95% CI: 77.9&ndash
85.7%), specificity of 51.5% (95% CI: 46.5&ndash
56.6%) and AUC of 0.668 (95% CI: 0.630&ndash
0.706) in identifying subjects with suboptimal bone health (DXA T-score <
1) (p <
0.001). At QUS T-score &le
2.5, CM-200 was ineffective in identifying subjects with osteoporosis (DXA T-score &le
2.5) (sensitivity 14.4% (95% CI: 8.1&ndash
23.0%)
specificity 96.1% (95% CI: 94.4&ndash
97.4%)
AUC 0.553 (95% CI: 0.488&ndash
0.617)
p >
0.05). Modified cut-off values for the QUS T-score improved the performance of CM-200 in identifying subjects with osteopenia (sensitivity 67.7% (95% CI: 62.8&ndash
72.3%)
specificity 72.8% (95% CI: 68.1&ndash
77.2%)
J = 0.405
AUC 0.702 (95% CI: 0.666&ndash
0.739)
p <
0.001) and osteoporosis (sensitivity 79.4% (95% CI: 70.0&ndash
86.9%)
specificity 61.8% (95% CI: 58.1&ndash
65.5%)
J = 0.412
AUC 0.706 (95% CI: 0.654&ndash
0.758)
0.001). Conclusion: The modified cut-off values significantly improved the performance of CM-200 in identifying individuals with osteoporosis. Since these values are device-specific, optimization is necessary for accurate detection of individuals at risk for osteoporosis using QUS.
