This information is provided directly by researchers and we recognise that it isn't always easy to understand. We are working with researchers to improve the accessibility of this information.
We want to describe the hospital use and quality of life of patients who have been diagnosed with an osteoporotic spine fracture using an artificial intelligence (AI) program by routine NHS services. While body scans can detect an osteoporotic spine fracture, most fractures are either not reported or not acted upon. NHS services are now using artificial intelligence programmes to analyse existing scans to find these fractures and then manage patients for osteoporosis. If this pathway is found to be beneficial to the NHS, it will identify 100,000's patients with undiagnosed osteoporosis who would benefit from treatment and reduce their risk of a potentially life-changing fracture.
Adults aged 50 years and over who have been identified with a spine fracture by 5 hospitals using an AI program in routine NHS practice, will be eligible for the study. We will invite adults identified using a body scan in 2017 and 2022/3 to record either online or by post a series of questionnaires about their medical history focusing on bone health and back pain. Data from their local hospital records will supplement this information. Adults identified using a scan done in 2022/3 will also be followed every six-monthly assessments for 2 years. We will also contact their GP to copy their primary care records in a subset.
All adults who have been identified with a spine fracture by 5 hospitals that are using an AI program in routine NHS practice, will be eligible for the study. We will invite adults identified using a scan in 2017 to record either online or by post a series of questionnaires about their medical history focusing on bone health and back pain. Data from their local hospital records will supplement this information. We will invite adults identified using a scan done in 2022/3 to complete similar information at baseline and then follow them forward for two years with six-monthly assessments. We will also contact their GP to copy their primary care records in a subset.
