MEDICAL EVALUATION AND TREATMENT OF OSTEOPOROSIS

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 这项建议的总体目标是为评估和治疗患有或怀疑患有骨质疏松症的患者制定一项全面的方案。四家参与校园骨质疏松症护理的诊所将联合起来。获得的数据将被输入骨质疏松症数据库，该数据库将用于数据检索，用于图表(至EPIC)、报告(至推荐医生)和数据分析(用于出版物)。完全可以预期，这一建议将产生具有临床和病理生理意义的重要信息。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.
