Health-related quality of life of patients with a recent fracture attending a fracture liaison service: a 3-year follow-up study.

ABSTRACT: This study explored the course of health state utility value over 3 years in patients with a recent fracture attending a Fracture Liaison Service and suggested that the overall change in health-related quality of life was not significant, although significant improvements were observed at 6 and 12 months compared to baseline.

Introduction

To estimate the 3-year health-related quality of life (HRQoL) of patients with a recent fracture presenting at a Fracture Liaison Service (FLS) and to explore factors associated with health state utility value (HSUV).

Methods

Patients' HSUVs were derived from the EQ-5D-5L and SF-6D and calculated at six time points. Multiple imputation was applied for missing data. Linear mixed-effects regression analysis with random intercept and slope was
