Clinical subsequent fractures cluster in time after first fractures
TL;DR: From menopause onwards, clinical fractures cluster in time, indicating the need for early action to prevent subsequent fractures, and the risk of subsequent fractures remained increased over 15 years.

Risk of subsequent fracture and mortality within 5 years after a non-vertebral fracture
Kirsten M.B. Huntjens,S. Kosar,T. van Geel,Piet Geusens,Paul Willems,Alphons G.H. Kessels,Bjorn Winkens,Peter R. Brink,S.H. van Helden +8 more
TL;DR: Within 5 years after an initial NVF, nearly one in five patients sustained a subsequent NVF and one in three died, indicating the need to study which reversible factors can be targeted to immediately prevent subsequent fractures and mortality.
Optimizing fracture prevention: the fracture liaison service, an observational study
Danielle A Eekman,S.H. van Helden,A.M. Huisman,Harald J. J. Verhaar,Irene E. M. Bultink,P. Geusens,Paul Lips,Willem F. Lems +7 more
TL;DR: In elderly fracture patients, the use of a FLS leads to an increased response rate, a high persistence to drug treatment, and a low rate of subsequent clinical fractures.

Cost-effectiveness of nutritional intervention in elderly subjects after hip fracture. A randomized controlled trial
Caroline E. Wyers,P.L.M. Reijven,Silvia M. A. A. Evers,Paul C. Willems,Ide C. Heyligers,A.D. Verburg,S.H. van Helden,Pieter C. Dagnelie +7 more
TL;DR: Intensive nutritional intervention in elderly hip fracture patients is likely to be cost-effective for weight but not for QALYs, and future cost-effectiveness studies should incorporate outcome measures appropriate for elderly patients, such as functional limitations and other relevant outcome parameters for elderly.
Implementation of osteoporosis guidelines: a survey of five large fracture liaison services in the Netherlands

TL;DR: All five participating FLSs with a dedicated fracture nurse differed in the performance of patient selection, CRFs and in the prevalence of CRFs, indicating the need for more concrete and standardised guidelines to organise evaluation of patients at the time of fracture in daily practice.
