Wiser Choices in Osteoporosis Choice II: A Decision Aid for Patients and Clinicians

February 1, 2016 updated by: Victor Montori, Mayo Clinic

Wiser Choices In Osteoporosis Choice II

Emphasis in treating osteoporosis has been on T-scores rather than overall fracture risk. Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) supports a risk sensitive approach to osteoporosis treatment by providing an absolute fracture risk. FRAX combined with a decision aid may promote a shared decision making approach with patients, allowing the clinician and patient to weigh potential fracture risk (without treatment), versus risk reduction with medication (including side effects and costs). OSTEOPOROSIS CHOICE II will test the effectiveness of:

  • FRAX
  • FRAX + decision aid
  • Usual care (no decision aid and no FRAX given to clinician)

How is the study designed?

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: Supportive Care
  • Allocation: Randomized
  • Interventional Model: Parallel Assignment
  • Masking: Single

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
No Intervention: Usual care
Experimental: FRAX + Decision Aid
Clinicians will present patient's with their individualized risk of osteoporotic fracture in 10 years, based on the FRAX risk calculator, as well as sharing a decision aid with them, which shows their risk of fracture, risk reduction on medications, as well as the downsides of the medications.
Other Names:
  • Decision Support
Experimental: FRAX estimated fracture risk
The clinician is provided with the patient's estimated risk of fracture as computed by the FRAX
Other Names:
  • Risk estimate
