Improving the Identification, Assessment and Management of Osteoporosis and Fragility Fracture Risk on a Later Life Psychiatry Ward: A Complete Audit Cycle

[摘要] Aims Osteoporosis is common amongst elderly patient populations and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We aimed to assess whether national clinical guidelines regarding the identification, assessment and management of osteoporosis and fragility fracture risk were being adhered to on a female later life psychiatry ward. We then aimed to improve the detection and treatment of osteoporosis amongst this patient cohort and subsequently conducted a re-audit of adherence to relevant clinical guidelines.
