Overview

Every third female and every fifth male over 50 years of age suffer from an osteoporotic fracture. Approximately 15,000 patients with hip fractures in the Czech Republic are hospitalized every year, and nearly one-fifth of them die within one year of the complications associated with this injury. Additionally, initial osteoporotic fracture increases the risk of another subsequent fracture by 2–5 fold. Under-diagnosis of osteoporosis in the population is one of the most severe problems in the Czech Republic, which is related not only to the lack of information about the problem itself in the target population but also to the absence of comprehensive programs of prevention of osteoporotic fractures.

Two projects launched in 2021 aim to improve this situation. The first is a national, prospective, multicentre pilot project entitled „OSTEO“ focused on secondary prevention of osteoporotic fractures in persons over 50 who have had their first osteoporotic fracture. The second is the primary and secondary prevention project, named “Q-OSTEOPOROSIS“.

The global objective of the pilot project is to verify the feasibility of implementing the FLS system in the Czech healthcare environment and to design a population-wide programme for the prevention of secondary osteoporotic fractures in the Czech Republic based on this approach to ensure maximum positive impact on population health and high cost-effectiveness of the intervention.

Key objective of the “Q-OSTEOPOROSIS“ is to provide comprehensive care for patients at risk of potential osteoporotic fractures according to guidelines and evidence based medicine, which will be predictable for the health system in terms of benefits, costs and long-term financial sustainability and will bring a significant reduction in the incidence of osteoporotic fractures in the long term horizon.

Given that geriatricians have a significant group of patients in their care who already have a confirmed or increased risk of osteoporosis, CGGS has initiated negotiations in the above-mentioned quality care programs to involve geriatricians in the process of these important changes. CGGS will keep you informed of the progress and results of the negotiations.
