Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Fragility fracture

    Incidence of fragility fractures per 10,000 person-years (distal forearm fractures, proximal humerus fractures and hip fractures)

    4 years

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Mortality

    4 years

Study Arms (2)

Fracture liaison service

EXPERIMENTAL

* Information, assessment \& lifestyle advice * refer to DXA scan, except patients with dementia, difficulties laying on the back or short life exp. * Blood samples * Sufficient intake of Vitamin D \& calcium, combined with physical activity will be recommended with lifestyle advice (smoking \& alcohol intake) * Patients With Hip, Vertebral or two or more low-trauma fractures are recommended treated with anti-osteoporosis drug * Other fractures, treatment recommended if FRAX score≥20% for major fracture \& T-score≤-1.5 * Fracture patients with reduced kidney function will be treated with anti-RANKL * Anti-osteoporosis drug prescribed by hospital physician * Follow-up phone call after 3 months and visit to talk with coordinating nurse after 1 year * Patients with spine or femoral neck T-scores≤-3.5, \>2 severe vertebral fractures \& those who suffer a second fracture while using anti-osteoporosis drug, will be referred for further examination and teriparatide treatment will be considered
