A real-world analysis of 1,823 hospitalized osteoporotic fractures in Northeast China.

ABSTRACT:

Context

There are limited real-world data evidence assessing the clinical characteristics of hospitalized osteoporotic fractures in China.

Objective

To investigate the clinical characteristics of hospitalized major osteoporotic fractures in Northeast China.

Methods

We identified hospitalized fracture patients aged 50 and over from the First Affiliated Hospital of Jinzhou Medical University between January 1, 2018, and December 31, 2022. Major osteoporotic fractures including hip, vertebral, forearm and wrist, and humerus were diagnosed based on x-ray reports extracted from the electronic medical records (EMR). The cause of fracture, comorbidities, surgical methods, and anti-osteoporotic medications (AM) use were extracted from EMR.
