Description
Muhammed Yasir Altunisik is first author on a 2026 national survey of bone care differences by specialty in Turkiye. The survey covers osteoporosis, a bone-thinning disease that raises fracture risk. Several specialties share its care, so the authors compared guideline use, clinical habits, and awareness among internal medicine, rehab, and orthopedic doctors.
Four hundred and forty-seven doctors answered a survey. Awareness scores were highest among rehab doctors and lowest among orthopedic doctors, with IM between. Specialties also differed in testing, lab checks, drug choices, and follow-up plans. In adjusted analysis, specialty and active guideline use predicted awareness. Years on the job and academic title did not. Guideline-focused teaching and wider fracture liaison services are urged.
