Although osteoporosis treatment with a combination of calcium, vitamin D (Cal+D) and an antiresorptive or bone-forming drug can dramatically reduce fracture risk, rates of treatment following hip fracture remain low. In-hospital initiation of recommended medications has improved outcomes in heart disease; hospitalization for hip fracture may represent a similar opportunity for improvement. Our objective was to examine rates of in-hospital treatment with 1) Cal+D and 2) antiresorptive or bone-forming medications in patients hospitalized for hip fractures. Using pharmacy and discharge records from Perspective, a database developed to measure quality and health care utilization, we examined in-hospital osteoporosis treatment in 51,346 patients over age 65 hospitalized for osteoporotic hip fracture at 318 hospitals between October 2003 and September 2005. Our main outcome measures were the in-hospital administration of 1) Cal+D and 2) antiresorptive or bone-forming medications. 3,405 patients (6.6%) received Cal+D anytime after a procedure to correct femoral fracture. 3,763 patients (7.3%) received antiresorptive or bone-forming medications. Only 1023 patients (2%) were prescribed ideal therapy, receiving Cal+D and an antiresorptive or bone-forming medication. Treatment rates remained low across virtually all patient, provider, and hospital level characteristics. The strongest predictor of treatment with Cal+D was the receipt of an antiresorptive or bone-forming medication (Adjusted OR=5.50, 95% CI: 4.84–6.25); however, only 27% of patients who received these medications also received Cal+D. Rates of in-hospital initiation of osteoporosis treatment for hip fracture patients are very low and may represent an opportunity to improve care.
