NCT ID: NCT06304428 Not yet recruiting - Osteoporosis Clinical Trials

Prevention of Injury in Skilled Nursing Facilities Through Optimizing Medications

PRISM
Start date: October 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare three care models for optimizing medications and preventing falls with broken bones in patients receiving rehabilitation after a hospitalization for a broken bone. The primary outcome is injurious falls, with secondary outcomes measuring how the process of care is changed and capturing patient-reported outcomes valued by stakeholders. The main questions this study aims to answer are: - Which of the three models is more effective in preventing falls with fractures? - What are the differences in patient-centered outcomes amongst the three models? These include pain, depression, anxiety, sleep, medication side effect burden, and fear of falling. - What are the differences in osteoporosis treatment and medication burden? The three care models are: a Deprescribing Care Model designed to reduce or stop fall-related medications, a Bone Heath Service Model designed to provide osteoporosis evaluation and management, and an Injury Prevention Service Model offering both services. 42 SNFs will participate in this study. The three models will be incorporated into the routine care of patients at these facilities who are receiving rehabilitation after a hospitalization for a fracture. All care models will be delivered remotely to patients in the SNF and after they transition home by a post-fracture nurse consultant supported by an interprofessional team. This study has three aims. See Detailed Description for more details. This ClinicalTrials.gov record represents the Comparative Effectiveness Aim of the protocol.

NCT ID: NCT06299865 Not yet recruiting - Osteoporosis Clinical Trials

Comparison of Detection Rates Between Two Commonly Used Bone Density Measurement Methods

Start date: March 1, 2024
Phase:
Study type: Observational

72 adult patients who underwent lumbar spine anteroposterior DXA and QCT examinations at Qianfoshan Hospital in Shandong Province from January 2019 to December 2022 were selected, with an interval of no more than 3 months between the two examinations for the same patient. 1. Record the patient's age, gender, height, and weight; Review the patient's past medical history (especially whether there is a history of brittle fractures, whether there is a history of using drugs that affect bone metabolism, etc.). 2. Retrieve the bone density values of the anterior lumbar vertebrae 1 to 4 measured by GE Healthcare Lunar Prodigy dual energy X-ray absorptiometry from the database, and take the average (DXA bone density value). According to the diagnostic criteria of the Diagnosis and Treatment Guidelines for Primary Osteoporosis (2022), determine whether the patient has normal bone mass, decreased bone mass, or osteoporosis. 3. Identify the lumbar spine bone density values (QCT bone density values) measured by the GE Gemstone CTHD750 CT instrument from the database. According to the diagnostic criteria of the Chinese Quantitative CT (QCT) Diagnosis Guidelines for Osteoporosis (2018), determine whether the patient has normal bone mass, decreased bone mass, or osteoporosis. 4. Statistical analysis was conducted on the normal bone density, bone loss, and number of osteoporosis diagnosed by DXA and QCT respectively, in order to explore the differences in the detection rates of osteoporosis between these two monitoring methods. The data was analyzed and processed using SPSS 21.0 statistical software, and the count data was expressed as a rate (%) χ 2-test, P<0.05 indicates statistically significant difference; Explore whether the difference in detection rates between the two is related to factors such as weight; Calculate the detection rates of osteoporosis using two detection methods in patients who have experienced brittle fractures, and preliminarily determine which detection method is more accurate in determining osteoporosis.

NCT ID: NCT06279078 Recruiting - Asthma Clinical Trials

Long-term Effect of Steroid on Metabolic Diseases in Asthmatics

Start date: December 30, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The goal of this retrospective/observational study is to compare the clinical outcomes between the high-cumulative-dose group and the low- cumulative-dose group of oral/inhaled corticosteroid in the long-term management of asthma patients. The main hypothesis are: i. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid is related to the prevalence of osteoporosis/osteoporosis in the long-term management of adult asthma. ii. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid can affect populations that have a high-risk of osteoporosis (females over 50 years of age). iii. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid is related to the prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and hyperlipidemia in the long-term management of adult asthma. iv. High cumulative dose of corticosteroid affects bone metabolism-related diagnostic tests and laboratory values and the prescription rate of bone metabolism-related medications.

NCT ID: NCT06270758 Recruiting - Osteoporosis Clinical Trials

Clinical Validation of BBCT-hip

ValidaBBCT-hip
Start date: November 7, 2023
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The clinical study is aimed at assessing the accuracy of the in silico methodology BBCT-hip. BBCT-hip takes as inputs the subject-specific height and weight, and the CT scan of his femur to predict the risk of fracture for the femur upon falling. In the study, 150 subjects who suffered from a fracture will be enrolled, in addition to 150 control subjects. CT scans will be carried out for both groups (no later than 3 months for the fracture group) and BBCT-hip run,in order that the risk of fracture will be obtained. First, a transversal study will be performed, where the stratification accuracy of BBCT-hip will be assessed in terms of the ability of the predicted risk of fracture to separate fracture and control subjects. Furthermore, the control subjets will be followed up to assess BBCT-hip predictive accuracy through a longitudinal study.

NCT ID: NCT06265246 Not yet recruiting - Obesity Clinical Trials

Impact of Milk and Yogurt Supplementation on Bone Health, Body Composition, and Gut Microbiota in Canadian Young Adults

Start date: May 1, 2024
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

Milk and dairy products contain significant amounts of nutrients that contribute to optimal health - nutrients like calcium, vitamin D, and high-quality protein. Fermented milk products or fermented dairy products are dairy foods that have been fermented with certain bacteria. Yogurt is a fermented dairy product containing millions of beneficial bacteria. In this study, the invesgitagtors will look at the effect of milk (a non-fermented dairy product) and yogurt (a fermented dairy product) supplementation on bone health and the amount of fat and muscle mass in Canadian young adults over a 24-month period. While dairy products contain significant amounts of nutrients, the scientific community does not know the impact of long-term supplementation of fermented (i.e., yogurt) or non-fermented (i.e., milk) dairy food on bone health and the amount of fat and muscle mass in young adults. To fill this knowledge gap, the investigators will recruit participants with low calcium intake and assign them to three different groups: 1) milk (intervention) group; 2) yogurt (intervention) group; and 3) control group. The investigators will ask the participants in the milk group to drink 1.5 servings (375 mL) of milk per day for 24 months. Participants in the yogurt group will consume 2 servings (350 g) of yogurt per day for 24 months. Those in the control group will continue their usual diets. Using a randomized controlled trial design, the investigators will measure bone health parameters, hormonal indices related to bone metabolism, body composition (e.g., muscle mass, fat mass), and the number and composition of bacteria living in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The hypothesis is that supplementation with yogurt will have more positive effects on bone health indices, particularly femoral neck BMD as the primary outcome, than milk in Canadian adults aged 19-30 years. The secondary hypothesis is that supplementation with yogurt, as a fermented milk product, will have a more beneficial effect than milk on body composition measures. The data will provide valuable information for developing targeted health initiatives and marketing strategies regarding the benefits of fermented and non-fermented dairy product consumption.

NCT ID: NCT06264609 Enrolling by invitation - Osteoporosis Clinical Trials

Precision Medicine Approach for Osteoporosis - Follow Up Study

Start date: February 1, 2024
Phase: Phase 4
Study type: Interventional

Osteoporosis is a health problem of major proportions. It affects more than 40 million Americans and results in more than 2 million fractures annually among Medicare patients alone. Hospital admissions for osteoporotic fractures exceed those of heart attacks, strokes and breast cancer combined. Osteoporosis is commonly considered a disease associated with menopause. This estrogen deficiency related bone loss is characterized by high bone turnover with increased resorption without commensurate changes in bone formation. It is in contrast to age-related bone loss, which starts as early as in the fourth decade of life and continues with increasing age. Age-related bone loss is usually associated with lower bone turnover and decreased bone formation is the main abnormality. Current therapies do not address age-related bone loss and the special needs of the age-related osteoporosis population is currently ignored. This is to a great degree due to difficulties associated with the bone biopsy necessary for unequivocal determination of bone turnover status. Thus, the current standard of care relies on starting with an antiresorber, which is of limited effectiveness in age-related osteoporosis, and in fact impedes the effectiveness of the appropriate anabolic medication. In a current ongoing study - Novel precision medicine approach to treatment of osteoporosis based on bone turnover. EIRB#70781; efforts are focused on addressing this particular problem. Our follow-up study seeks to achieve one specific aim: to compare effectiveness of Alendronate vs Teriparatide after participants have been switched at the end of treatment at year one, to the other drug at year two for the same duration of treatment.
