FLS in Klatovy Hospital increased 6 times number of DXA measurements and 4-times the number of treated patients within first 6 months of implementation. There have been started 2 FLS projects in the Czech Republic in 2021. National pilot multicentric study OSTEO with 10 active participating centers verifying implementation of FLS protocols in the Czech Republic. Next project is "Q-osteoporosis".
