The data documents FLS level compliance with defined clinical standards for secondary fracture prevention. Details of these standards can be found in the FLS-DB audit report. The audit was initiated to measure primarily against NICE technology assessments and guidance on osteoporosis, and the National Osteoporosis Society clinical standards for FLSs.
Data was extracted from the FLS database in June 2019, and covers patients diagnosed with a fragility fracture within the NHS between January and December 2018.
