Filter by:The aim of this observational study is to assess the obstacles and levers to the continuation of anti-osteoporotic treatment, and to identify those where action could be taken to improve the quality of care for fractured patients. The individual and collective stakes are high. Fracture is the most feared complication of osteoporosis. The current under-diagnosis and under-treatment of this chronic pathology exposes patients to a high risk of early re-fracture, with the associated morbidity and mortality. General practitioners have a major role to play in monitoring and coordinating patients' healthcare pathways. The aim of this study is to assess ways of improving osteoporosis management in order to improve quality of life and disability-free life expectancy for individual patients. The public health and economic stakes are equally high. It is by identifying the obstacles that prospective work on the key elements to be implemented could help optimize osteoporosis management.
This observational study aims to learn about the psychosocial risk factors of osteoporosis (OP) patients. The main question it aims to answer is: - Which biopsychosocial factors affect OP patients' fragility fracture risk regarding the health behaviour model? Participants will fulfil these forms below here; - Sociodemographic and Clinical Information Form, - Fragility Fracture Information Form - Medication Adherence Report Scale - Brief Illness Perception Scale - The Beliefs About the Medicines Scale-Specific - The Short Assessment of Patient Satisfaction - Perceived Stress Scale - Multidimensional Perceived Social Support Scale - Brief Symptom Inventory - Depression and Anxiety - Health Behavior Assessment Scale
This project anchors osteoporotic fractures, conduct registration and follow-up studies, and conduct prospective treatment studies. By registering for follow-up studies on osteoporotic fractures, it is planned to obtain epidemiological data through registration and follow-up studies; A prospective treatment study for patients with osteoporotic fractures is planned to explore effective treatment strategies through randomized controlled trials; To study biomarkers for osteoporotic refractures, we plan to establish a biomarker warning model through multi omics research; To study imaging biomarkers for osteoporotic refractures, a new imaging technology is proposed to establish an imaging omics warning model.
This study will assess the incidence of osteoporosis and osteoporotic fracture risk of registered home health patients in the Anatolian side of Istanbul.
This is a randomized study to determine the effects of monthly romosozumab for one year or one-time zoledronic acid on bone mineral density (BMD) and biochemical markers of bone formation and resorption, in patients with spinal cord injury (SCI) and low BMD.
Vertebral body fractures are a major health care problem in all countries with incidence 1.4%. They are a common cause of severe debilitating pain, with consequent deteriorated quality of life, physical function and psychosocial performance. Surgery is indicated in patients with vertebral body fracture, and concurrent spinal instability or neurologic deficit. The cornerstone of management for vertebral body fractures without neurological impairment is medical therapy, which include analgesics, bed rest, orthoses and rehabilitation. In the majority of patients such treatment modalities are effective. However, conservative management measures are not indicated for every type of fracture. For example, in older patients with vertebral fractures and cardio-respiratory disease it is not possible to prescribe bedrest for long period. Moreover, sometimes anti-inflammatory drugs are poorly tolerated by older patients, and bed rest can lead to further demineralization of the vertebrae, predisposing to future fractures. Percutaneous minimally invasive vertebral augmentation methods for cement application into the vertebral body are a useful tool for the management of symptomatic fractures without neurological impairment when conventional measures of treatment can not be adopted. Two different percutaneous minimally invasive vertebral augmentation methods for cement application into the vertebral body for the management of symptomatic vertebral body fractures without neurological impairment have been developed, namely vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty. Kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty have gained wide acceptance worldwide to manage patients without neurological impairment suffering from unmanageable pain caused by vertebral body fractures. Both procedures depend on mechanical stabilization of the fracture produced by cement injection into the fractured vertebral body. Cement augmentation of the vertebral body by vertebroplasty and kyphoplasty was originally introduced for osteoporotic compression fractures, but surgeons have now applied these techniques as a method of enhancing anterior column support while avoiding the morbidity and complications associated with anterior approaches. The mainstay of the controversy between kyphoplasty and vertebroplasty are height restoration, whether or not this height restoration is clinically significant, and the risks related to height restoration.
Due to its prevalence worldwide, osteoporosis is considered a serious public health concern. The worldwide annual incidence of Osteoporotic fractures is approximately 2 million in the US only. Hip fracture is associated with serious disability and excess mortality. Studies have shown that an initial osteoporotic fracture is a major risk factor for a new fracture. An increased risk of 14.8% for a secondary hip fracture has been demonstrated in people that have already sustained a fracture in the past 4 years (In average). These data indicate the major opportunity afforded by secondary fracture prevention strategies. By responding to the first fracture, we can reduce the incidence of second and subsequent fractures. However, even after longer medical follow-up according to regular standard of care, medical treatment and rehabilitation, the medical system has been unable to translate the eminent risk into an effective preventive treatment.
