Trial Outcomes & Findings for Patient Activation After DXA Result Notification (NCT NCT01507662)

NCT ID: NCT01507662

Last Updated: 2020-11-10

Results Overview

Guideline concordant was defined as those who prescribed a National Osteoporosis Foundation approved osteoporosis therapy for patients with osteoporosis (T-score of femoral neck, hip, or spine ≤-2.5 or FRAX ≥20 %), or patients with a self-reported history of low impact fracture, or patients with osteopenia (T-score between -1.0 and -2.5 at the femoral neck, hips, or lumbar spine) and a 10-year probability of a major osteoporosis-related fracture ≥20 % OR those who were not prescribed a therapy for patients with no self-reported history of prior DXA and study DXA shows normal BMD and no self-reported history of low impact fracture, or study DXA shows osteopenia (T-score of femoral neck, hip, or spine between -1 and -2.5) and FRAX \<20 %) and no self-reported history of low impact fracture, or self-reported prior DXA but no self-reported history of low impact fracture and no self-reported history of osteoporosis.
