Adults with mild autonomous cortisol secretion who undergo an adrenalectomy have a significantly reduced risk for vertebral fractures than those who do not have surgery, according to an analysis of two studies. Researchers from Italy conducted both a retrospective study and a prospective randomized study assessing incidence of vertebral fractures among patients with mild autonomous cortisol

Mashup Score: 0Successive visits to single provider yielded high satisfaction for pediatric fracture care - 3 month(s) ago
SAN DIEGO — Results showed pediatric patients reported high satisfaction with independent visits to advanced practice clinicians for fracture treatment, especially when patients saw the same provider in successive visits.“Connecting with a provider is a fundamental part of the patient experience, even in a short health care encounter like pediatric fractures,” Kristin S.

Mashup Score: 1Multidisciplinary model can cut refracture risk for hospitalized adults with hip fracture - 12 month(s) ago
A multidisciplinary care model can reduce the risk for subsequent fractures among adults hospitalized for a hip fracture, according to findings published in Journal of Bone and Mineral Research. In an analysis of data from 172 hospitals in England and Wales, researchers assessed organizational factors that were associated with the likelihood of prescribing osteoporosis medication and the risk for

Mashup Score: 0Risk tools do not outperform BMD for predicting hip fractures among late-life adults - 12 month(s) ago
Two fracture risk assessment tools incorporating femoral neck bone mineral density did not outperform femoral neck BMD alone for predicting hip fractures among adults aged 80 years and older, according to study data. In an analysis of data from three prospective cohort studies, the use of femoral neck BMD was more accurate than the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX) and the Garvan Fracture Risk

Older adults who sustain a hip fracture after discontinuing risedronate following at least 5 years of treatment adherence have a higher post-fracture mortality risk than those who continue using risedronate, according to study data. In a retrospective cohort study conducted in Australia, researchers compared post-fracture mortality risk for older adults who stop using oral bisphosphonates with

The use of racial-ethnic adjustments in the U.S. version of the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool may be underestimating fractures among underrepresented groups, and new, more accurate tools are needed, according to a task force report. The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) convened a task force to assess how well the U.S. version of the Fracture Risk Assessment Tool (FRAX)

Commentary on: Schene MR, Wyers CE, Driessen AMH, et al . Imminent fall risk after fracture. Age Ageing 2023; 52:1-9. Imminent fall risk can be defined similarly to imminent fracture risk, that is, a 12-month or 24-month increased risk after the index event, which declines over time.1 This study by Schene and colleagues compares the fall risk of a large cohort of adults who experienced a fracture with fracture-free matched controls, to assess whether fall risk after the index fracture is time-dependent.2 This retrospective …
