NCT01388244

Brief Summary

The Risk-stratified Osteoporosis Strategy Evaluation Study (ROSE) is a randomised population-based study, including 20,904 Danish women aged 65-80 years, investigating the effectiveness of a two-step screening programme for osteoporosis, using a questionnaire based on FRAX® followed by DXA-scan of those at highest risk. Further, the study is expected to provide knowledge about cost-effectiveness, patient preferences and acceptance of screening programme to prevent fractures

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The effect of screening for osteoporosis with a two-step programme involving FRAX risk score followed by DXA for the prevention of hip fracture and other osteoporosis-related fracture events

    Comparison of register data concerning hospitalizations for primarily hip fracture between the intervention and control group as a whole. Power calculations suggest three years of followup on average, but this time frame could be increased if participation falls short.

    Three years follow-up on average

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Cost-effectiveness / cost-utility of a two-step screening programme.

    Three years follow-up on average
