Osteopenia, Osteoporosis
Conditions
Brief summary
There is a management gap in China. This study aims to establish a tiered management system of osteoporosis for Chinese patients. Including: 1. Developing a national hierarchical health management network platform for middle-aged and elderly osteoporosis patients. With this platform, the data of medical records, laboratory results would be shared between medical institutions. And primary hospitals can refer the patients to the nearest medical centre for advanced auxiliary examinations and diagnosis. 2. Establishing a muti-level hospital collaboration, doctor-patient interaction management model of osteoporosis. 3. To explore and establish a early warning and screening pathways for osteoporosis.
Interventions
No intervention would be taken. Patients enrolled would be managed by this tiered diagnosis and treatment system and receive standard treatment according to clinical guidelines of osteoporosis.
