Objective To perform a scoping review on the application of fracture liaison service (FLS) in patients with osteoporotic hip fracture and to provide reference for FLS's clinical application and future research. Methods We searched literature in CNKI, Wanfang Data, VIP, CBM, Chinese Medical Journal Full Text Database, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, CINAHL, and JBI databases from the inception to November 30, 2023. The following information was retrieved and extracted for the analysis: author, publication year, nation, study type, sample size, intervention, length of intervention, and outcome indicator. Results Totally 33 articles were collected. The framework of the interventions was mainly established by the establishment of FLS team, patient identification and validation, risk factor evaluation and intervention, pharmaceutical and non-pharmacological treatment, and health follow-up. A total of 27 outcome indicators were extracted and categorized into 4 aspects: effectiveness outcome indicators, subjective outcome indicators, safety outcome indicators, and hospital-related outcome indicators. Conclusion In patients with osteoporotic hip fracture, FLS has a favorable impact on prognosis improvement and re-fracture prevention. In future research, an appropriate FLS program for patients with osteoporotic hip fracture should be created, and the interventions, outcome indicators, and evaluation tools should be standardized.
