MEDICAL EVALUATION AND TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSIS

该子项目是利用 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。列出的机构是 中心，不一定是研究者的机构。 本提案的总体目标是制定一项全面的方案，用于评估和治疗患有或疑似患有骨质疏松症的患者。四个诊所参与骨质疏松症护理在校园的努力将结合起来。将获得的数据输入骨质疏松症数据库，该数据库将用于数据检索，用于制图（EPIC）、报告（转诊医生）和数据分析（用于出版物）。 完全可以预期，该建议将产生具有临床和病理生理学意义的重要信息。此外，预计将改进评价和后续行动的报告制度。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. The overall objective of this proposal is to develop a comprehensive protocol for the evaluation and treatment of patients with or suspected of having osteoporosis. Efforts of four clinics involved in osteoporosis care on campus will be combined. Data obtained will be entered onto an osteoporosis database, which would be used for data retrieval for charting (to EPIC), reporting (to referring physicians), and data analysis (for publications). It is fully expected that important information of clinical and pathophysiological significance would result from this proposal. Moreover, an improved reporting system for evaluation and follow-up is expected.
