Osteoporosis Clinical Trial
Official title:
Fractures in the Elderly Population of El Salvador at Hospital Zacamil: Exploring Knowledge, Causes, Risk Factors, and Outcomes
As the population's life expectancy increases, fractures among the elderly in El Salvador are
also increasing. There is currently limited data specific to the incidence and cause of
fractures in the elderly within developing countries, such as El Salvador. The problem of
inadequate knowledge pertaining to bone health and osteoporosis among the elderly is
contributing to this aging population's health issues. The purpose of this study is to
investigate the incidence, prevalence, and risk factors effecting elderly patients admitted
for fractures at the Hospital Zacamil in San Salvador, El Salvador. The study will also
assess the current knowledge in two distinct populations on bone health and osteoporosis. The
first population will be the patients over the age of 45 that present to Hospital Zacamil
with acute fractures and are consulted by the department of orthopedics. The second
population will consist of students at the Evangelical University over the age of 18 in
non-medial track studies. All individuals will have to accept the invitation to participate
in the study. In addition, educational materials will be developed on the prevention of
fractures for medical professionals and for the elderly in El Salvador. The study objectives
will determine incidence and prevalence of elderly fractures of patients over the age of 45
at Hospital Zacamil. Secondly, the study will look at demographic information, prevalent
causes of fractures, treatment of the fractures, morbidity and mortality, and any
complications that may arise in the fracture patients prior to their discharge from the
hospital. Thirdly, the study will seek out the current level of knowledge on bone health,
osteoporosis, and fracture prevention in the young, educated Salvadorians and patients over
the age of 45 at Hospital Zacamil. Fourthly, the study will address the benefits of the
information gained by use of educational materials with the patients and doctors of El
Salvador.
Hypothesis One:
Fractures of the elderly at Hospital Zacamil are significantly associated with occurring at
the hip, wrist, and vertebra in comparison to other fracture locations.
