Summary: In this international study, the researchers analyzed the incidence of hip fractures, post-fracture treatment, and all-cause mortality following hip fractures across different countries and regions. They used patient-level healthcare data from 19 countries and identified 4,115,046 hip fractures from 2005 to 2018. The study revealed variations in the global epidemiology of hip fractures and post-fracture outcomes, highlighting the need for interventions to reduce the burden of osteoporotic fractures.

Summary: Sub-Saharan Africa is experiencing rapid population aging, leading to an increased burden of musculoskeletal conditions. By analyzing hip fracture incidence data from South Africa, this study estimated a significant increase in hip fracture burden for the country in the next few decades.

Summary: The study found that the proportion of hip fractures in people over 60 in Tangshan increased significantly during the observation period, especially in women. There were significant increasing trends in the incidence of cervical and trochanteric fractures in different genders and age groups. Hip fracture incidence also increased significantly in the 36-60 age group.

Summary: This study compared the incidence of hip fractures in older adults from Ecuador before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. The findings showed a significant reduction in the number of hip fractures during the period of social isolation, with no changes in hospital stay, mortality, and case-fatality rate.

Summary: Osteoporotic hip fractures in older people may increase the risk of subsequent hip fractures and death. This study estimated the cumulative incidence of recurrent hip fracture and death in the Valencia region. The findings showed that women had a higher incidence of recurrent hip fracture than men, while men had a higher risk of death.

Summary: Bone mineral density screening rates among women prior to hip fracture are low, with lower rates among black patients compared to white patients. More screening should be recommended for otherwise healthy black patients above the age of 65. Additionally, treatment rates need to increase among those diagnosed with osteoporosis.

Summary: Despite limited data on healthcare costs associated with hip fracture in Sub-Saharan Africa, this study estimated high direct medical costs for managing hip fracture within the South African public healthcare system. The findings can inform policy decisions regarding budgeting and planning of hip fracture services.

Summary: Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA)-based bone radiomics scores from hip images may improve hip fracture prediction in older women. The study showed that an increase in bone radiomics score was associated with an elevated risk of incident hip fracture.

Summary: A study in Saudi Arabia analyzed the incidence of hip fractures to develop a FRAX tool for fracture prediction and compared fracture probabilities with neighboring countries. The estimated number of hip fractures in Saudi Arabia is predicted to increase nearly sevenfold by 2050, but the probabilities of major osteoporotic fractures or hip fractures are lower due to higher mortality rates.

Summary: Research suggests that childless older individuals are at higher risk of sustaining a hip fracture and mortality. The association between having children and lower risk of hip fracture and longer survival after fracture was observed.

Summary: The clinical significance of BMD discordance between the hip and spine for hip fractures was evaluated in this study. The results showed that the rates of BMD discordance and low hip discordance were significantly higher in the hip fracture group than in the non-fracture group, indicating a higher risk of hip fractures.

Summary: Among older US Asian/PI adults, the incidence of hip fracture was lower compared to NHW adults, but varied by Asian/PI subgroup. Incidence was significantly lower in Asian/PI women and men compared to NHW women and men, with the largest differences observed among South Asian women.

Summary: Considerable uncertainty exists regarding the risk factors for recurrent fracture among older patients with hip fracture. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between prefracture stroke history, baseline mobility, and the risk of recurrent hip fracture. The findings showed that stroke history was associated with the cumulative incidence of recurrent hip fracture within one year, but its association varied depending on the baseline mobility of the patients.

Summary: Hip fracture patients receiving anti-osteoporosis treatment have reduced mortality rates. Oral bisphosphonates, ibandronate, zoledronic acid, and denosumab were associated with lower all-cause mortality rates among these patients.
