Mortalidade após fratura por osteoporose

Abstract: A tualmente, muito se tem estudado sobre a associação, direta ou indireta, entre a elevada taxa de mortalidade e a fratura por fragilidade óssea. A relação com maior mortalidade é mais evidente após a fratura de quadril (1) do que após fraturas vertebrais (2) ou periféricas. Em contrapartida, ainda, não está suficientemente esclarecido se o aumento do número de mortes é decorrente da fratura propriamente dita ou se está relacionada com outras variáveis, como idade avançada, presença de doenças concomitantes ou… Show more

“…They selected 17 studies and did not find any significant differences in mortality rates. Likewise, we did not observe any significant differences in the survival curves among patients in this study regarding the sur gical procedures, and this result is in agreement with previous reports 3 , 13 , 15 , 34 , 35 .…”

“…There was also a statistically significant reduction (p = 0.007) in the survival of the patients with a diagnosis of depression prior to hospitalization ( Figure 3). gical procedures, and this result is in agreement with previous reports (3,13,15,34,35) . In analyzing the types of fracture (trochanteric, subtrochanteric or femoral neck), we only found a tendency towards greater mortality in the groups of patients with trochanteric or subtrochanteric fractures.…”

“…Based on the findings of the present study, the number of unneeded scans performed at low-risk women (those without the disease and with normal exam results) would be reduced by 50%, thereby offering greater specificity. This aspect is of extreme importance in public health, considering the high mortality rate in the first 12 months following a hip fracture (25% to 28% in Brazil) [40].…”
