The Impact of Opioids in Fractures - a Case Control Study

Completed

• Conditions: Fractures

• Registration Number: NCT02090972
• Lead Sponsor: Ruhr University of Bochum

Brief Summary

In this study, the risk of opioid medications on fractures in older adults is investigated. Patients from the surgical department with fractures and control patients from the internal department of the same hospital are inquired with a standardized questionaire about demographic and clinical risk factors for fractures. Osteoporotic fracture risk is assessed using quantitative ultrasound. An impact of recent opioid medications on fractures is hypothesised.
