Decision aids in patients with osteoporosis: A scoping review.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Although various methods exist for osteoporosis prevention, most patients fail to receive optimal treatment due to information asymmetry between physicians and patients, as well as limited consultation time. Current literatures suggest that decision aids can support clinical decision-making by improving patients' risk perception and treatment acceptance.

Objective

This scoping review described the use and effectiveness of decision aids in clinical decision-making among individuals with osteoporosis.

Inclusion criteria

The review will include studies conducted in various countries that focus on decision-aiding interventions for people with osteoporosis in different settings and are published in English or Chinese.
