In Nottingham we have assessed the acceptability of oral hormone replacement therapy (HRT) for an at risk group of post-menopausal women for osteoporosis. One hundred post-menopausal women between the ages of 50 and 70 years who had sustained a distal radial fracture were offered oral HRT. There was a 36% overall uptake of HRT with 9% of patients unable to take HRT because they had medical contraindications. The uptake in the 50-55 year age group was 54%. We conclude that in prospective studies of HRT for osteoporosis up to 50% of patients may not wish to take HRT and therefore study design should allow for this level of uptake.
在诺丁汉,我们评估了口服激素替代疗法(HRT)对有骨质疏松症风险的绝经后女性群体的可接受性。100名年龄在50至70岁之间、桡骨远端发生骨折的绝经后女性被提供了口服HRT。HRT的总体接受率为36%,9%的患者因有医学禁忌证而无法接受HRT。50 - 55岁年龄组的接受率为54%。我们得出结论,在关于HRT治疗骨质疏松症的前瞻性研究中,高达50%的患者可能不希望接受HRT,因此研究设计应考虑到这一接受水平。
