Virtual Grand Rounds/Clinical Update: Osteoporosis: Screening and Mgmt in Primary Care

Osteoporosis significantly impacts morbidity and mortality in the U.S., with approximately 12.3 million adults (USPSTF) in the United States aged 50 and over expected to be living with the disease. Osteoporotic fractures result in severe consequences such as functional impairment, chronic pain, reduced quality of life, and loss of independence. Furthermore, the clinical and economic burden of osteoporosis is substantial, with annual costs projected to be $25.3 billion by 2025 (AJMC). The U.S. Preventative Task Force (USPSTF) recommends screening and treatment of osteoporosis in adults. Accordingly, CommonSpirit Health, Physician Enterprise has adopted the evidence based guidelines of professional societies, including American College of Physicians (ACP), American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE), and Endocrine Society, on screening and treatment to prevent osteoporotic fractures.
