Summary
In this observational study a SMS reminder system was tested to improve patient adher- ence to osteoporosis drug therapy. 399 of 1323 osteoporosis fracture patients could be documented. 66 % of patients who received a SMS recommendation arranged an ap- pointment with their primary care physician. A large proportion of the physicians followed these recommendations. As more elderly patients declined to participate, the SMS tool seems to be useful in younger seniors (< 70 years).
Zusammenfassung
In dieser Beobachtungsstudie wurde ein SMS-Erinnerungssystem getestet, welches die Adhärenz von Patienten gegenüber einer medikamentösen Osteoporosetherapie ver- bessern soll. 399 der 1323 Patienten mit os- teoporotischen Frakturen konnten dokumen- tiert werden. 66 % der Patienten, die eine Er- innerung per SMS erhielten, vereinbarten ei- nen Termin mit ihrem Hausarzt. Ein großer Anteil der Ärzte folgte den Empfehlungen. Da mehr ältere Patienten die Teilnahme ablehn- ten, scheint das SMS-Tool eher für jüngere Senioren (< 70 Jahre) sinnvoll zu sein.
