Expanding access to fracture liaison services in Australia for people with minimal trauma fractures: a  system dynamics modelling study

CONCLUSION: Our modelling indicates that increasing the number of hospital-based FLS and changing key operational characteristics would achieve only moderate reductions in the number of minimal trauma fractures among people aged 50 years or more, and the cost would be relatively high. Alternatives to specialist-led, hospital-based FLS should be explored.PMID:38409791 | DOI:10.5694/mja2.52241
