Subsequent fracture rates and associated mortality were compared before and after the introduction of fracture liaison service (FLS). In 100,198 women and men, FLS was associated with 13% and 10% lower risk of subsequent fragility fractures and 18% and 15% lower mortality. The study suggests that FLS may prevent fractures.
Efficient fracture prevention strategies are warranted to control the global fracture burden. We investigated the effect of a standardized fracture liaison service (FLS) intervention on subsequent fracture risk and mortality.
The NoFRACT study was designed as a multicenter, pragmatic, register-supported, stepped-wedge cluster-randomized trial. The FLS intervention was introduced in three clusters with 4-month intervals starting May 2015 through December 2018 and included evaluation of osteoporosis and treatment in patients over 50 years with a low-energy fracture. Based on data from the Norwegian Patient Registry, patients with index fractures were assigned to the control period (2011-2015) or intervention period (2015-2018) depending on the time of fracture. Rates of subsequent fragility fractures (distal forearm, proximal humerus, or hip) and all-cause mortality were calculated.
A total of 100,198 patients (mean age 69.6 years) suffered an index fracture of any type. During a maximum follow-up of 4.7 years, 11% (6948) of the women and 6% (2014) of the men experienced a subsequent fragility fracture, and 20% (14,324) of the women and 22% (8,326) of the men died. FLS was associated with 13% lower subsequent fragility fracture risk in women (hazard ratio (HR) 0.87, 95% confidence intervals (CI) 0.83-0.92) and 10% in men (HR 0.90, 95% CI 0.81-0.99) and 18% lower mortality in women (HR 0.82, 95% CI 0.79-0.86) and 15% in men (HR 0.85, 95% CI 0.81-0.89).
A standardized FLS intervention was associated with a lower risk of subsequent fragility fractures and mortality and may contribute to reduce the global fracture burden.
比较了骨折联络服务(FLS)引入前后的后续骨折发生率及相关死亡率。在100198名女性和男性中,FLS使后续脆性骨折风险降低了13%和10%,死亡率降低了18%和15%。该研究表明FLS可能预防骨折。
需要有效的骨折预防策略来控制全球骨折负担。我们调查了标准化骨折联络服务(FLS)干预对后续骨折风险和死亡率的影响。
NoFRACT研究设计为一项多中心、务实、注册支持的阶梯式楔形整群随机试验。FLS干预于2015年5月至2018年12月期间分三个整群以4个月的间隔引入,包括对50岁以上低能量骨折患者的骨质疏松症评估和治疗。根据挪威患者注册中心的数据,根据骨折时间将索引骨折患者分配到对照期(2011 - 2015年)或干预期(2015 - 2018年)。计算后续脆性骨折(远端前臂、近端肱骨或髋部)发生率和全因死亡率。
共有100198名患者(平均年龄69.6岁)发生了任何类型的索引骨折。在最长4.7年的随访期间,11%(6948名)女性和6%(2014名)男性发生了后续脆性骨折,20%(14324名)女性和22%(8326名)男性死亡。FLS使女性后续脆性骨折风险降低13%(风险比(HR)0.87,95%置信区间(CI)0.83 - 0.92),男性降低10%(HR 0.90,95%CI 0.81 - 0.99),女性死亡率降低18%(HR 0.82,95%CI 0.79 - 0.86),男性降低15%(HR 0.85,95%CI 0.81 - 0.89)。
标准化的FLS干预与较低的后续脆性骨折风险和死亡率相关,可能有助于减轻全球骨折负担。
