Cost-Effectiveness of Therapy
- In 1984, femoral fracture, the main complication of osteoporosis costed about ₤48 million per year, in England and Wales.[1]
- In 1987, osteoporosis was the most prevalent musculoskeletal disorder in North America. 15-20 million adults were affected, involves 1.3 million fractures; led to annual cost of $3.8 billion for treatment. The estimated 267000 femoral neck fractures, in 1980, caused costs of $1.3 billion just for acute management. The average hospital stays were 21 days.[2]
