Global Burden of Vertebral Fractures and Spinal Cord Injuries Due to Falls From 1990 to 2021: A Population-Based Study.

ABSTRACT: Study DesignMeta-analysis-based calculation.ObjectivesFalls are the primary cause of vertebral fractures and spinal cord injuries (SCI). We aimed to analyze the burden and trends of vertebral fractures and SCI due to falls.MethodsWe extracted data on the incidence, prevalence, and years lived with disability (YLDs) of vertebral fractures and SCI due to falls in 21 regions and 204 countries. Estimated annual percentage changes and the Joinpoint regression analysis was used to assess time trends. And we used the Bayesian Age-Period-Cohort model to project the burden for the next 15 years. Then, We developed smoothed curve models and used Spearman's correlation coefficient to analyze the relationship between the Socio-Demographic Index (SDI) and the burden. Finally, frontier analysis was appl
