Interventions to improve OP management had a significant positive impact on prescription of BMD measurement but a more limited impact on treatment prescription
Osteoporosis ( OP ) is a major public health concern , but still OP care does not meet guidelines .
Interventions have been developed to improve appropriate OP management .
The objective of the present study was to systematic ally review the current literature to ascertain the efficacy of interventions to improve OP care and characterize interventions taking into account elements related to their potential cost and feasibility .
ROBINS-I: a tool for assessing risk of bias in non-randomised studies of interventions
Non-r and omised studies of the effects of interventions are critical to many areas of healthcare evaluation , but their results may be biased . It is therefore important to underst and and appraise their strengths and weaknesses . We developed ROBINS-I ( “ Risk Of Bias In Non-r and omised Studies - of Interventions ” ) , a new tool for evaluating risk of bias in estimates of the comparative effectiveness ( harm or benefit ) of interventions from studies that did not use r and omisation  to allocate units ( individuals or clusters of individuals ) to comparison groups . The tool will be particularly useful to those undertaking systematic review s that include non-r and omised studies
