Abstract
Objective: Long-term use of bisphosphonates (BP) for treating osteoporosis may cause incomplete atypical femoral fracture. In this study, we compared the classification and risk estimation of incomplete atypical femoral fractures, which is an alternative approach to clinical risk assessment. Materials and Methods: A data set was randomly selected from women using postmenopausal BP. We identified a class imbalance problem in the population and created a balanced structure using the density-based synthetic minority over-sampling technique. We compared machine learning algorithms and conducted a case study. Results: We solved the class imbalance problem with the density-based synthetic minority over-sampling technique and found that the random forest and adaboost methods achieved the highest performance in the classification step. Conclusion: It is recommended to apply resampling methods in cases where there is an unbalanced class problem such as incomplete atypical femoral fracture. Ensemble methods perform better than traditional methods in this study.
