Brief Summary

Aims: to Establish the FLS services at the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) and its Beihu Branch (BB). Method: From Jan., 2014, two related fracture liaison services (FLSs) following the 13 'Capture the Fracture Best Practice Standards' were implemented at the National Taiwan University Hospital (NTUH) health care system. The main hospital (MH) program enrolled patient with 1) new hip fracture 2) newly identified radiographic vertebral fractures or 3) clinical vertebral fractures from both inpatients and outpatients. The Beihu branch (BB) program enrolled only the later two types of patients from outpatients. During the whole study period, two programs planed to enroll 600 fracture patients. Each patient would be assessed at baseline, and every 4 month for at least one year.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• Bone Mineral Density test within 8 weeks of enrollments

  Capture the fracture campaign provide 13 best practice standards. The above mentioned index is the limiting factor for many osteoporosis related managements after fracture. We decided to use this as the primary outcome

  8 weeks

Study Arms (2)

M- main hospital

Patient enrolled in the main hospital

B- Beihu branch

Patients enrolled in the Beihu branch
