Title: Controlled Trial to Increase Detection and Treatment of Osteoporosis in Older Patients With a Wrist Fracture
Brief Summary: The primary objective of this proposed research is to improve the quality of care for patients who present to the Emergency Department with osteoporosis and a fracture of the wrist, by increasing the use of proven efficacious osteoporosis treatment. This is the primary study outcome, and it is defined as starting any one of hormone therapy, a bisphosphonate, raloxifene, or calcitonin within 6 months of a fracture of the wrist.

The study hypothesis is that a quality improvement intervention (with multiple components that include a notification system for primary care physicians, patient-specific reminders, locally generated treatment guidelines endorsed by opinion leaders, and patient education and counseling) will lead to increased use of proven efficacious osteoporosis treatments in patients eligible for secondary prevention. This hypothesis will be tested by comparing the intervention with usual care controls, in a prospective nonrandomized controlled trial.


Options:
A: Inclusion Criteria:

* Men age 50-75 yrs.
* Women age 40-75 yrs
* One primary care visit in past 2 years.

Exclusion Criteria:

* High risk for colorectal or breast cancer.
B: Inclusion Criteria:All alert, stable adults presenting to the study hospital EDs after sustaining acute blunt trauma to the head or neck will be eligible and consecutive eligible trauma patients will be entered into the study. Patient eligibility will be determined based on these criteria at the time of arrival in the ED. a) "Trauma to the head and neck" will include patients with either: i) neck pain with any mechanism of injury (subjective complaint by the patient of any pain in the posterior midline or posterolateral aspect of the neck), or ii) no neck pain but all of: some visible injury above the clavicles, has not been ambulatory at any time, and associated with a high risk mechanism of injury (motor vehicle collision including motorcycle, pedestrian struck by a motor vehicle, bicycle collision, fall greater than or equal to 3 feet or 5 steps, diving, or contact sport with axial load to head and neck). b) "Alert" is defined as a Glasgow Coma Scale103 score of 15 (converses, fully oriented, and follows commands). c) "Stable" refers to normal vital signs as defined by the Revised Trauma Score24 (systolic blood pressure 90 mm Hg or greater and respiratory rate between 10 and 24 breaths per minute). d) "Acute" refers to injury within the past 48 hours.
