Pilot project FLS OSTEO - Secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures in persons aged over 50 in Czech Republic
2021
Abstract
Every third female and every fifth male over 50 years of age suffer from osteoporotic fracture during the life. Approximately 15.000 patients with hip fracture in the Czech Republic is hospitalized every year, and nearly 25 % of them die within one year for the complications associated with this injury.
The multicentre preventive program FLS should improve the secondary prevention and decrease the number of non-treated people after the fracture.
