| [ Summary ] | In pharmacotherapy for osteoporosis, improvement of the treatment rate and treatment continuation rate is required for the Osteoporosis Liaison Service (OLS). In clinical practice, the medication rate and adherence to pharmacotherapy are low, and the dropout rate is extremely high. In the OLS, it is also an index used to reflect the patient's medication situation. Further, it is required to confirm the presence/absence of the continuation of medications, residual medications, and polypharmacy. | |
