Health outcomes in fragility fractures in the Spanish registry of osteoporotic fractures according to the FLS care model
Background: Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) are the gold standard for secondary fracture prevention, but their characteristics vary depending on the care model. This study describes the differences between Orthogeriatric (FLS-ORT) and Bone Metabolism (FLS-MET) models in Spain, based on data from the...

| Sumario: | Background: Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) are the gold standard for secondary fracture prevention, but their characteristics vary depending on the care model. This study describes the differences between Orthogeriatric (FLS-ORT) and Bone Metabolism (FLS-MET) models in Spain, based on data from the national osteoporotic fracture registry. Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter cohort study including 8,962 patients aged ≥50 years with fragility fractures from 25 active FLS in Spain (2019–2023). Patients were classified based on the care model: FLS-ORT (n = 3,695) or FLS-MET (n = 5,267). Baseline characteristics, fracture types, treatment initiation, adherence, and 12-month outcomes were compared. […] |
