Brief summary (registry, in English)
Aims: (1) to Establish the FLS services at the National Taiwan University Hospital Jinshan Branch. (2) To establish a anti-osteoporosis medication management service at Jinshan Branch. Method: From Aug., 2015, a fracture liaison services (FLSs) following the 13 'Capture the Fracture Best Practice Standards' were implemented at the National Taiwan University Hospital Jinshan Branch health care system. The Jinshan Branch program enrolled patient with 1) new hip fracture 2) newly identified vertebral fractures (radiological or clinical) from both inpatients and outpatients. At the same time, a osteoporosis medication management service is also establish as a complement of FLS to enroll patients on antiosteoporosis medications (AOMs) but not necessary with fracture. Participating physicians will select those eligible for services and refer to study coordinators. Study coordinators will conduct baseline assessments on osteoporosis/fracture risks, record medical conditions, AOMs, provide educations on osteoporosis, fracture, sarcopenia, fall, medications, nutrition, and exercise. They also arrange return clinic visit, telephone reminder and follow up for patients, and communicate with providers on regular bases. During the whole study period, the investigators planed to enroll 200 patients (with or without fracture). Each patient would be assessed at baseline, and every 4 months last for two years.
