Fracture associated premature mortality: An international consortium

与没有骨折的人相比，发生骨质疏松性骨折后的过早死亡率增加。还有证据表明，抗骨质疏松症药物可以降低这种过早死亡率。本研究将通过整合多项骨质疏松症国际流行病学研究的数据，确定不同骨折类型和不同人群中的死亡率-死亡率关系的大小以及治疗对死亡率的影响。

Following an osteoporotic fracture there is an increased premature mortality compared with someone who has not fractured. There is also evidence that anti-osteoporosis medication reduces this premature mortality. This study will determine the size of the fracture-mortality relationship and the effect of treatment on this mortality for different fracture types and in different populations by integrating data from multiple international epidemiology studies of osteoporosis.
