Trajectories of Follow-up Compliance in a Fracture Liaison Service and Their Predictors: A Longitudinal Group-Based Trajectory Analysis

Introduction/Objectives Identification of groups of patients following similar trajectories of time-varying patient characteristics are often of considerable clinical value. This study provides an example of how the identification of trajectory groups of patients can be useful. Methods Using clinica...
