Expected Benefits and Budget Impact From a Microsimulation Model Support the Prioritization and Implementation of Fracture Liaison Services
Study context
- Population
- Simulated men and women aged ≥50 years with a fragility fracture; exemplar country the size of the UK
- Comparison
- Fracture liaison services vs current practice
- Outcome
- Health outcomes, resource use and costs of FLSs vs current practice
- Follow-up
- 5 years
