Jasmine Jones, battling cystic fibrosis since infancy, underwent a quadruple-organ transplant at UChicago Medicine. With the help of a new kidney, liver and pair of lungs — all from the same donor — the 28-year-old has a new lease on life.
The International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) proudly celebrates a major milestone for its global Capture the Fracture® (CTF) programme: the 1,310 Fracture Liaison Services (FLS) within the CTF network now collectively identify more than one million patients every year. Following a fragility fracture, the risk of subsequent fractures approximately doubles, with the likelihood of another fracture highest within the first one to two years after the initial event. Coordinated post-fracture care services such as Fracture Liaison Services and orthogeriatric services play a critical role in improving patient outcomes and reducing the risk of future fractures. These services help ensure that patients who experience an osteoporosis-related fracture are not simply discharged without follow-up, but instead receive timely osteoporosis assessment, appropriate treatment, and ongoing care to help prevent additional fractures. In the past five years, Capture the Fracture® has expanded three-fold and is recognized as the leading global initiative supporting the implementation of coordinated, multidisciplinary models of care for secondary fracture prevention.
