Effectiveness of Automated Inpatient Endocrinology Consultation for Osteoporotic Hip Fracture
An observational study of Osteoporosis, run by State University of New York - Upstate Medical University at 1 site in United States.
Trial summary
Osteoporosis has been called a "silent epidemic" whose prevalence is increasing. It often presents as a fragility fracture, with hospitalizations resulting from minimally traumatic hip fractures. While the fractures are treated appropriately, the underlying pathology is often ignored. Read more about this study

Key requirements
Who can take part, as listed by the sponsor. Only the study team can confirm whether you are eligible, so take this list to your doctor.
- Ages 55 years and older
- All sexes
- No healthy volunteers
- Adult, Older adult
Study population: Using the existing WebCAIS order system, an automated endocrinology consult and appropriate laboratory studies will be drawn on all non-traumatic hip fractures. Data from these patients will be collected in a prospective study, and the patients will be followed up over time to check adherence to osteoporotic medical therapy and future incidence of re-fracture.
Who may be able to join
- over 55
- non-traumatic hip fracture
Who cannot join
- currently on anti-osteoporosis pharmacotherapy including bisphosphonates, PTH, and calcitonin
- high energy nature of fracture, including MVA, fall from height greater than 3 feet
- severe dementia, lack of capacity

About this study
Osteoporosis has been called a "silent epidemic" whose prevalence is increasing. It often presents as a fragility fracture, with hospitalizations resulting from minimally traumatic hip fractures. While the fractures are treated appropriately, the underlying pathology is often ignored. Numerous studies have shown that prior fracture increases the risk for further fracture. In 2004 the Surgeon General released a report on osteoporosis, the details of which include multi-disciplinary treatment of osteoporotic fractures. Treatment of osteoporosis after hip fracture is also being targeted as a future hospital quality assessment measure. Hospitals which have no plan in place to address osteoporosis treatment after hip fracture may be cited, and may have medicare money withheld. The goal of the study is to create an automated in-patient endocrinology consultation for osteoporotic hip fractures. We plan to gather patient data in a prospective manner including the endocrinologist recommendations, adherence to medical therapy after discharge, and future fracture rates. Possible planned interventions include only appropriate medical therapy for osteoporosis, DEXA bone scanning, and regularly scheduled telephone follow-up.
