Appeal to physicians who meet children with severe OI types
Physician statements on children with severe types of OI
Dear colleague,
Boost Brittle Bones Before Birth (BOOSTB4) is a European consortium lead by Dr Götherström.In the literature there is very limited information on fracture incidence during the first years of life in children with OI type III and IV on early bisphosphonate treatment.
We understand your busy schedule, but we would appreciate your quick input on the statement below. Please only answer if you are a physician who meet children with severe types of OI. The information will be used in the preparations of analysis of fracture rate in the BOOSTB4 trial. The data will be handled anonymized. Please mark your opinion in the table below (you can contact us if you want the form sent to you by email).
You can also download the form in word-format and PDF-format here.
Thank you very much in advance,
The BOOSTB4 team
