About this study

Official title: Hip Fracture Prevention by Screening and Intervention of Elderly Women in Primary Health Care. 2001 - 2022

Researchers plan a 2022 follow-up of medical records data to investigate fracture incidence and survival for 1248 women, born 1902-1931, in a comparative fracture prevention study with 435 participants from an intervention area and 813 participants from two control areas.

In 2022 researchers want to assess patient records data in intervention and control areas and compare A) Survival B) Risk factors for osteoporotic fractures (wrist, upper arm, vertebral, pelvic, hip) C) physical activity, exercise and drugs that affect fracture risk.

Read the detailed description

Researchers plan a 2022 follow-up of medical records data to investigate fracture incidence and survival for 1248 women, born 1902-1931, in a comparative fracture prevention study with participants from an intervention area (Vislanda, n=435) and control areas (Emmaboda n=395 and Tingsryd (n=418). Fragility fracture prevalence after 40 years of age was 33% in the 1248 participants with mean age 79 years at baseline 2001.

Participants with 2-4 risk factors (age ≥80, body weight <60kg, previous fragility fracture or impaired rise-up ability) provided prospective data with FRAMO (FRActure and Mortality) Index as an outcome measure and this index identified 80% of hip, fragility fractures or death within a 2-year follow-up period.

Hip fracture incidence 2004-2005 was not significantly lower in the intervention area but the trend of the odds ratio (0.33) was in line with significantly fewer falls and improved recovery in the intervention area.

In 2022 researchers want to assess patient records data in intervention and control areas and compare A) Survival B) Risk factors for osteoporotic fractures (wrist, upper arm, vertebral, pelvic, hip) C) physical activity, exercise and drugs that affect fracture risk. Data analysis will be blinded for participation in intervention or control groups and statistical methods include Cox regression and Kaplan-Meier's survival analyzes. Birth cohort differences in outcomes will be analysed by using Lexi's diagrams.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Prevention of hip fracturesBehavioural

    Physical exercise and lifestyle advice on diet, smoking, walking and outdoor activities. Recommendations to use calcium and Vitamin D and do exercise at home by written instructions. Home visit by rehab team when needed. Group training with a physiotherapist. Gymnastics group and walking group. Walking aides and instructions of anti-slip protection. Home environment risk reduction was offered.

Control (the Tingsryd/Emmaboda districts)No intervention415 women living in Tingsryd and 395 women living in Emmaboda responded to the same detailed survey as the 435 women living in Vislanda.

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing Prevention of hip fractures in people with Fragility Fracture, run by Kronoberg County Council.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 1 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

Results are not available in the source record.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Survival (time frame: Maximum 21 years of follow up (Participants were on average 79 years old (70 to 100 years) at study start)). The study lists 3 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 8 Mar 2022.
