The frequency of medication use for the treatment of osteoporosis including estrogen replacement therapy, bisphosponates, calcitonin, calcium and vitamin D therapy was determined on admission, at 6 weeks post discharge and one year following discharge. All patients were discharged to the care of their family physician. All family physicians in the referral region received a copy of the Canadian Consensus recommendations for osteoporosis management 1\u20133 months prior to the study.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>During the study period, 174 patients were enrolled and 121 completed all assessments. Fifty-seven family physicians were identified as caring for 1 or more of the study patients. Only 7 patients had previous BMD, only 5 patients had previously been prescribed a bisphosponate and 14 patients were taking calcium and\/or vitamin D. All patients were prescribed 2500 mg calcium, 400 IU vitamin D and 5 mg residronate daily during rehabilitation and at discharge.<\/jats:p>\n            <jats:p>Following discharge, a significant improvement was seen in all clinical indices of functional mobility, including the functional independence measure (FIM), walking distance, fear of falling score (FFS), and the Berg balance score (BBS). At six weeks a significant (p &lt; 0.01) decrease in calcium and vitamin D use was observed. All patients remained compliant with residronate therapy. At twelve months 71 patients remained on residronate (p &lt; 0.01), 10 were now taking alternate bisphosphonate therapy and few were taking calcium and\/or vitamin D (p &lt; 0.001). FIM, FFS and Berg scores were significantly decreased from discharge (p &lt; 0.001) while walking distance was unchanged.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Few patients admitted for hip fracture had previously taken recommended osteoporosis therapy including bisphosphonates. While compliance with Canadian Consensus recommendations was observed at six weeks, this was not the case at twelve months post hip fracture rehabilitation. Interventions to improve not only the detection and treatment of osteoporosis but also the ongoing treatment and management post-fracture need to be developed and implemented.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/1471-2296-7-31","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,10]],"date-time":"2006-05-10T07:35:37Z","timestamp":1147246537000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Do patients receive recommended treatment of osteoporosis following hip fracture in primary care?"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"7","author":[{"given":"Robert J","family":"Petrella","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tim J","family":"Jones","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2006,5,9]]},"reference":[{"key":"162_CR1","volume-title":"Physicians' Guide to Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis","author":"National Osteoporosis Foundation","year":"1999","unstructured":"National Osteoporosis Foundation: Physicians' Guide to Prevention and Treatment of Osteoporosis. 1999, Washington, DC; National Osteoporosis Foundation"},{"key":"162_CR2","first-page":"1113","volume":"155","author":"Scientific Advisory Board, Osteoporosis Society of Canada","year":"1996","unstructured":"Scientific Advisory Board, Osteoporosis Society of Canada: Clinical Practice Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Osteoporosis.
