Underprescribing of Antifracture Medications Following Non-Traumatic Fracture: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Listen to this summary
The authors aimed to quantify the gap in osteoporosis care and identify factors influencing the prescription of antifracture medications following hospitalization for non-traumatic fractures. Their retrospective cohort study revealed that only 5.7% of medication-naïve patients received antifracture medications, highlighting a significant underprescribing issue. The study suggests that gender and pre-existing osteoporosis diagnosis are associated with higher rates of medication initiation, indicating a need for improved quality improvement efforts to address this care gap.
