Our objective to treat 60% of the patients may appear quite low. However, it is significantly higher than the appalling 20-30% rate of initiation of treatment currently seen in the province of Quebec and in Canada in general, combined with the 30-50% long-term adherence observed in practice (translating currently into 5-20% of patients taking appropriate long-term treatment for osteoporosis). If we are successful, the rate of treatment will be increased by 3 to 10 times.
