Improving outcomes in osteoporosis and bone health

随着人口老龄化，骨质疏松性骨折是一个常见且日益严重的问题。它们与再骨折和早期死亡的风险增加有关，但大多数患者仍未得到治疗。该建议将确定哪些骨折患者再次骨折和过早死亡的风险最高(b)确定骨质疏松治疗是否会降低这种风险(c)通过综合骨折风险预测工具提高全科医生对骨质疏松症的认识和治疗的接受程度。

Osteoporotic fractures are a common and increasing problem as the population ages. They are associated with increased risk of re-fracture and early death yet most patients remain untreated. This proposal will identify which fracture patients are at highest risk of re-fracture and premature death (b) identify whether osteoporosis treatment decreases this risk and (c) increase osteoporosis awareness and treatment uptake by general practitioners with an integrated fracture risk prediction tool.
