Fracture risk and bone health following a stroke are inadequately considered by physicians: A UK survey of practice

Conclusions We found marked heterogeneity in the approach of UK stroke physicians to the assessment of fracture risk and management of bone health in stroke patients with overall under-appreciation of fracture risk and low levels of assessment. Our findings support the need for clear guidelines regarding fracture risk assessment and bone health in patients who have experienced a stroke.
