Association of hospital-initiated bone densitometry with hospitalization for fragility fracture at Lille University Hospital among adults with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.

ABSTRACT: A retrospective study was conducted to calculate the cumulative incidence of hospital-initiated bone densitometry, in the year following hospitalization for fragility fracture in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. This cohort study demonstrated low rates of hospital-initiated bone densitometry with a 1-year cumulative incidence of 22.6%.

Background

Osteoporosis is one of the most frequent comorbidities in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients. A study was conducted to assess the management of osteoporosis in COPD patients using the INCLUDE health data warehouse.

Objectives

The primary objective was to calculate the cumulative incidence of hospital-initiated bone densitometry, in the year following hospitalization for fragility fracture in COP
