The global burden of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fractures will increase significantly as we enter a rapidly aging population. Osteoporotic fractures lead to increased morbidity, mortality, and risk of subsequent fractures if left untreated. However, studies have shown that the majority of patients who suffer an osteoporotic fracture are not investigated or treated for osteoporosis, leading to an inexcusable "osteoporosis care gap." Systematic and coordinated models of care in secondary fracture prevention known as fracture liaison services (FLS) have been established to streamline and improve the care of patients with osteoporotic fractures, and employ core principles of identification, investigation, and initiation of treatment. Our approach to the multifaceted care of secondary fracture prevention at a hospital-based FLS is illustrated through several case vignettes.
随着人口迅速老龄化,骨质疏松症和骨质疏松性骨折的全球负担将显著增加。如果不治疗,骨质疏松性骨折会导致发病率、死亡率增加,以及随后骨折的风险增加。然而,研究表明,大多数患有骨质疏松性骨折的患者并未接受骨质疏松症的调查或治疗,导致了不可原谅的“骨质疏松症护理差距”。为了简化和改善骨质疏松性骨折患者的护理,已经建立了二级骨折预防的系统和协调的护理模式,称为骨折联络服务(FLS),并采用了确定、调查和开始治疗的核心原则。我们通过几个病例示例说明了医院 FLS 中二级骨折预防的多方面护理方法。
