Implication

Retrospective cohort study identifies risk factors for subsequent fractures in older adults after hip fracture discharge, suggesting targeted interventions may help.

Key Points

To evaluate discharge-related risk factors associated with subsequent fractures following hip fracture hospitalization in older adults.
Retrospective cohort study using electronic medical records from Higashi-Kawaguchi Hospital.
Included 620 patients hospitalized for hip fractures from April 2015 to March 2020.
Followed patients from discharge to subsequent fracture or last medical record until March 2022.
131 patients (21.1%) experienced subsequent fractures, with 60 (9.7%) within 12 months of discharge.
Age by decade was identified as a risk factor (HR: 1.71; 95% CI 1.35–2.16).
Lower body mass index (BMI) was also identified as a risk factor (HR: 0.92; 95% CI: 0.86–0.97).
