Kasper Westphal Leth

Kasper Westphal Leth is a researcher at the Department of Clinical Research, Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Southern Denmark, with affiliations to Odense University Hospital (OUH), Karolinska Institutet (KI), and the Research Unit OPEN in Odense. His work focuses on osteoporosis, fracture risk assessment, and pharmacovigilance related to bone health and bisphosphonate therapies.

• University: University of Southern Denmark
• Department: Department of Clinical Research

Research interests include bone metabolism, atypical femoral fractures, and predictive modeling for osteoporotic fracture risk. He utilizes the FREM algorithm with register-based data and self-reported clinical factors to enhance prediction accuracy in postmenopausal women. His pharmacology expertise spans lipoprotein analysis, coronary artery calcification, and HDL-cholesterol dynamics.

Leth actively contributes to international collaborations, including radiographic reclassification of fractures and cancer comorbidity studies. He participates in major conferences like the European Calcified Tissue Society and European Congress of Radiology. His recent publications focus on bisphosphonate safety, fracture classification, and machine learning in fracture risk prediction.
