Retraction : The Prevention of Hip Fracture with Menatetrenone and Risedronate Plus Calcium Supplementation in Elderly Patients with Alzheimer Disease: A Randomized Controlled Trial

A logistic model predicted nonunion with reasonable accuracy (AUC=0.725). Within the Medicare population, nonunion patients were younger than patients who healed normally. Fracture was associated with increased risk of death within 1year of fracture (p<0.0001) in 14 different bones, confirming that geriatric fracture is a major public health issue. Comorbidities associated with increased risk of nonunion include past or current smoking, alcoholism, obesity or morbid obesity, osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, type II diabetes, and/or open fracture (all, multivariate p<0.001). Nonunion prediction requires knowledge of 26 patient variables but predictive accuracy is currently comparable to the Framingham cardiovascular risk prediction.
