Posted by Angie Kinsman on October 10, 2023 in Nuclear Medicine

Congratulations to Dr. Steven Burrell, whose work with the Osteoporosis Canada 2023 Guideline Update Group was recently published in the Canadian Medical Association Journal (CMAJ).

"In Canada, more than 2 million people live with osteoporosis, a disease that increases the risk for fractures, which result in excess mortality and morbidity, decreased quality of life and loss of autonomy. This guideline update is intended to assist Canadian health care professionals in the delivery of care to optimize skeletal health and prevent fractures in postmenopausal females and in males aged 50 years and older.

This guideline is an update of the 2010 Osteoporosis Canada clinical practice guideline on the diagnosis and management of osteoporosis in Canada."
