Characteristics and treatment options of 272,152 geriatric patients with very high and high fracture risk
The majority of geriatric patients is at a very high-risk for osteoporotic fractures, characterized by cognitive impairment, ADL limitations, and increased vulnerability. While some patients had contraindications, most were eligible for anti-osteoporotic and particularly bone anabolic treatments. Timely risk-assessment and treatment initiation is crucial and barriers need to be addressed.
