Summary: This study derived and validated predictive models using healthcare administrative data to accurately identify individuals at high risk of osteoporotic fracture. The models included predictors such as age, sex, diabetes, and were found to have good predictive performance, especially for predicting hip/femur fractures. Further validation in external cohorts is recommended for future surveillance of osteoporosis.

Summary: This study developed an operational definition to identify patients with osteoporotic hip fractures (OHFs) using diagnosis and procedure codes from health insurance claims data. The validity of the operational definition was assessed through a chart review. The results showed that the operational definition had high accuracy and discriminative power, making it a valid tool for detecting OHFs.

Summary: Pregnancy and lactation-related osteoporosis (PLO) with vertebral fractures is a rare clinical condition that mainly affects older and thinner pregnant women, often occurring in the first pregnancy. Patients typically experience back pain in the late stages of pregnancy and early postpartum period, with most vertebral fractures happening at the L2, L1, and T12 levels.

Summary: Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is associated with lower bone mineral density (BMD) and increased fracture risk. Detecting AAC during BMD testing may provide guidance for diagnosing bone health and predicting fracture risk.

Summary: This study aimed to estimate the annual incidence of osteoporotic fractures in Iran, showing a high incidence rate of osteoporotic hip fractures. The study recommends early detection and treatment of individuals with higher risks, as well as implementing fracture liaison services to prevent secondary fractures.

Summary: This systematic review and meta-analysis aimed to investigate the impact of serum magnesium on the risk of fractures. Four papers with a total of 119,755 participants were included in the systematic review. The findings suggested that lower serum magnesium concentrations were associated with a significantly higher risk of incident fractures. Further research is needed to confirm these results in other populations and explore the potential role of serum magnesium in fracture prevention.

Summary: This article reviews the use of fixation augmentation techniques in osteoporotic fractures. The literature review shows that augmentation techniques can improve the stability and strength of implants. However, there are currently no recommendations or consensus on the use of augmentation techniques in osteoporotic fractures.

Summary: The incidence of osteoporotic pelvic fractures in elderly patients is increasing, and surgical management can significantly improve pain. However, more randomized controlled trials are needed to provide better evidence to support this intervention.

Summary: This study systematically reviewed the evidence on the association between exposure to air pollution and osteoporosis-related outcomes. The findings suggest that PM2.5, PM10, and nitrogen dioxide may be associated with decreased bone density, osteoporotic fractures, and osteoporosis. However, due to limitations in the number of studies, heterogeneity, and publication bias, caution should be exercised in interpreting the results.

Summary: Scaphoid fractures are common, and diagnosing them accurately can be challenging. Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) has shown promise in diagnosing scaphoid fractures, with a pooled sensitivity of 0.88 and specificity of 0.99. However, the certainty of current evidence is low, and further well-designed studies with larger sample sizes are needed to confirm these findings.

Summary: This study conducted a network meta-analysis on the efficacy of antiosteoporotic interventions in adult patients taking glucocorticoids, finding that bisphosphonates, teriparatide, and denosumab are associated with decreased odds of fracture in these patients.

Summary: The study revealed that OPG gene polymorphisms A163G and T245G were associated with an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures, while T950C had a protective role. These polymorphisms can serve as predictive markers for fractures.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the validity of algorithms using healthcare administrative databases to identify asthma patients. The systematic review found that algorithms that combined asthma diagnostic codes with medication data were effective in identifying asthma patients in both adult and pediatric populations. However, further research is needed to confirm these findings and determine the impact of asthma medications on validity.

Summary: Chronic pancreatitis is associated with increased risk of osteopenia, osteoporosis, and fractures. This systematic review and meta-analysis found that the prevalence of osteoporosis was 19% in patients with chronic pancreatitis, and they were more likely to have osteoporosis compared to controls. The study highlights the need for further research on the impact of osteoporotic fractures and associated morbidity and mortality in chronic pancreatitis.
