  • All sexes
  • No healthy volunteers
  • Older adult

Study population: We will include the number of patients corresponding to the "patient flow" admitted to CMR's units of interest over one year, and, corresponding to the inclusion criteria (CMR welcomes 250 patients aged 75 and over to its geriatric units each year, all types of fractures combined; ¾ of patients are admitted for severe fractures).

Who may be able to join

  • Hospitalization in CMR's Geriatric Rehabilitation Department between 01/06/2021 and 31/05/2022
  • Age: 75 and over
  • Admitted with severe post-fracture osteoporosis
  • Having received a first dose of antiosteoporotic treatment between the day the fracture occurred and discharge from CMR (either in an inpatient unit prior to CMR, or at CMR)

Who cannot join

  • Having objected to the use of his/her data for research purposes
  • Subject under guardianship or deprived of liberty.
  • Pathological fracture
  • Anti-osteoporotic treatment prior to fracture
  • 1-year follow-up made impossible by lack of contact with patient, family or attending physician.

About this study

Official title: Evaluation of the Continuation of Anti-osteoporotic Treatment 1 Year After Initial Administration Following Severe Osteoporotic Fracture in Patients Aged 75 and Over, Hospitalized at the Rocheplane Medical Center

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.

Read the detailed description

Selection of patients hospitalized at the Rocheplane Medical Center between June 2021 and May 2022, following a severe osteoporotic fracture and having received a first dose of antiosteoporotic treatment during their overall stay (initial admission department + CMR).

Sending of an information letter and request for non-objection from patients or their trusted support person, with a 1-month cooling-off period to express opposition.

Collection of variables of interest from CMR patients' medical records, followed by administration of a telephone hetero-questionnaire (transferred to Excel) to patients or their families 1 year after fracture occurrence.

If the patient or family did not answer the questionnaire, or if it was incomplete (missing data), the information could be sought by telephone from the attending physician.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Evaluate the rate of continuation of anti-osteoporotic treatment at 1 year after initial administration following a severe osteoporotic fracture in patients aged 75 and over.

    Percentage of patients for whom anti-osteoporosis treatment was renewed 1 year after initial administration (between fracture occurrence and discharge from the geriatric department)

    Measured: Telephone data collection one year after Geriatric Rehabilitation Department stay

Secondary outcomes (5)
  1. Determine the rate of introduction of anti-osteoporotic treatment during the patient's overall stay

    Percentage of patients who received anti-osteoporosis treatment during their overall stay

    Measured: Medical records collected one year after Geriatric Rehabilitation Department stay

  2. Identify patient-related obstacles and levers to treatment renewal at 1 year after fracture

    Percentage of patients presenting: a contraindication to treatment, intolerance to treatment, refusal of treatment, non-adherence to treatment, failure to consult their GP, forgetfulness, death.

    Measured: Telephone data collection one year after Geriatric Rehabilitation Department stay

  3. Determine the obstacles and levers to the continuation of treatment at 1 year after a fracture, in relation to the treating physician.

    Percentage of GPs reporting: unfamiliarity with the introduction of treatment at the time of fracture, unfamiliarity with how to prescribe treatment, unfamiliarity with "osteoporosis" recommendations, non-prescribing for fear of adverse effects (iatrogenicity), non-prescribing based on a judgement of an unfavourable benefit/risk balance, feeling of incompetence regarding the management of osteoporosis, lack of time, proposing therapeutic alternatives, forgetfulness.

    Measured: Telephone data collection one year after Geriatric Rehabilitation Department stay

  4. Determine the obstacles and levers to the continuation of treatment at 1 year for fractures related to the healthcare system

    Absence of clear follow-up instructions on upstream department reports (quality of inter-professional communication), Absence of consultation with a rheumatologist, Absence of consultation with a geriatrician, Difficulty accessing a dental consultation, Absence of BMD, Cost of medication, Existence of a doctor-pharmacist link, GP cooperation with a network of well-identified specialists.

    Measured: Telephone data collection one year after Geriatric Rehabilitation Department stay

  5. Evaluation of the professional practices of general practitioners concerning the management of osteoporosis.

    Analysis of the results of the professional practice assessment questionnaire

    Measured: Telephone data collection one year after Geriatric Rehabilitation Department stay of their patient

The record says: status not confirmed, as of the sponsor's last update on 6 Sep 2023. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

Contact Sabine DREVET, Dr (04 76 76 66 06, sdrevet@chu-grenoble.fr), or a site near the patient. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Evaluate the rate of continuation of anti-osteoporotic treatment at 1 year after initial administration following a severe osteoporotic fracture in patients aged 75 and over. (time frame: Telephone data collection one year after Geriatric Rehabilitation Department stay). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?
