Osteoporotic fractures and mortality risk

骨质疏松症是一个常见的问题，与髋关节和甚至更多的轻微骨折相关的过早死亡率增加。尽管骨质疏松症治疗可能降低死亡率增加的风险，但其原因仍存在争议。这项研究将是第一个检查新南威尔士州因骨折入院的所有受试者的生存率，包括随后住院和治疗的原因。这项研究将有助于确定死亡的原因和抗骨质疏松治疗对结局的作用。

Osteoporosis is a common problem with increased premature mortality associated with hip and even more minor fractures. The cause of increased mortality is debated although osteoporosis treatment may decrease this risk. This study will be the first to examine survival of all subjects in NSW admitted for a fracture including cause for subsequent hospitalisation and treatment taken. This study will help define the cause of the mortality and the role of anti osteoporosis treatment on outcome.
