Poststroke Hip Fracture: Prevalence, Clinical Characteristics, Mineral-Bone Metabolism, Outcomes, and Gaps in Prevention

Abstract: Objective. To assess the prevalence, clinical and laboratory characteristics, and short-term outcomes of poststroke hip fracture (HF). Methods. A cross-sectional study of 761 consecutive patients aged ≥60 years (82.3 ± 8.8 years; 75% females) with osteoporotic HF. Results. The prevalence of poststroke HF was 13.1% occurring on average 2.4 years after the stroke. The poststroke group compared to the rest of the cohort had a higher proportion of women, subjects with dementia, history of TIA, hypertension, corona… Show more

“…Stroke patients have an increased risk of BF. [1][2][3]31 In US, compared to a non-stroke population, the hazard ratio of suffering from a hip fracture in the first 24 h after the stroke is increased by $4-fold. 7 Within the first year of hip surgery, about 4% patients will suffer from stroke.…”

“…Osteoporosis, which is a systemic metabolic bone disease that can have multiple causes, is characterised by a progressive loss of bone mass and microarchitecture resulting in a high fracture risk 9 10. In Taiwan, there are approximately 500 000 people aged over 65 years old diagnosed with osteoporosis, and 25% of them have experienced a spine or hip fracture 11.…”

“…Of note, Australian cost estimates per HF patient appear to be consistent with international reports, which considered hospitalization costs between $US 8,358 and $US 32,195 140 and average cost in the first year following a HF Canadian $46,664. 147 The reported results and projections highlight the need of strategies to prevent post-stroke HF 148 and may have a potential of contributing to healthcare planning and resourcing for the elderly, in whom both HF and stroke remain major public health problems.…”
