Fracture Liaison Service Database Annual Report 2022

The Fracture Liaison Service Database (FLS-DB) has launched its fifth national patient-level report: ‘Variable resilience of FLSs during the COVID-19 pandemic’.

This report focuses on data submitted by fracture liaison services in England and Wales from 2020 for the 11 FLS-DB key performance indicators. It also presents data on the organisational structure of FLSs and the findings from the delayed vertebral fracture sprint audit.

There was a fantastic response to the audit, with over 62,000 patient records entered in 2020 from 69 FLSs.

The report is now available to download and has been designed to be read online. It contains hyperlinks to a range of public performance tables and charts which allow you to view the performance of FLSs in England and Wales.

Any questions about the report can be raised with the Royal College of Physicians at: flsdb@rcp.ac.uk.
