Five-year trajectories following hospitalization for osteoporotic fracture, using competing-risk and multistate methods to map refracture and death outcomes and implications for prognosis.
Key Takeaways
- Five-year cumulative incidence was 8.63% for first recorded hospitalized refracture and 15.57% for death before refracture.
- Aalen–Johansen state probabilities at five years were 75.80% alive without refracture, 6.76% alive after refracture, 15.57% dead without refracture, and 1.88% dead after refracture.
- Analysis used a de-identified registry of 4,751 patients aged ≥50 surviving ≥30 days after index hospitalization to estimate competing risks and transitions.
