Pelvic-acetabular fractures lead to high mortality in elders and their association between different groups is not known. Our results indicate that older age with pelvic-acetabular fracture was significantly associated with mortality. This finding may help planning and allocating healthcare resources, risk stratification, and optimizing the treatme...

FRAX is a tool based on questions that identifies persons at risk of fragility fractures. We interviewed patients about their thoughts on doing FRAX in a dental setting. They were generally positive but had some concerns that need to be considered before introducing FRAX in a dental setting. To investigate patients' thoughts about assessing the ris...

Hip fractures are a major public health concern. Number of hip fractures cases increased by 20% from 2012 to 2018. Factors associated with post-fracture mortality included men, those who are frail, living in a non-metropolitan region, or residing in a residential aged care facility. Our results are useful for planning healthcare interventions. Hip ...

This study examined the relationship between hip fractures and weather warnings with the hypothesis higher rates of fractures occur during warnings. National hip fracture database and weather warning records were utilised. Higher rates of hip fractures were found with severe warnings. This has implications for planning in future severe warnings. Hi...

To investigate the prevalence and risk factors and influence of pseudoarthrosis on activities of daily living (ADL) of patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture (OVF). Spinal pseudoarthrosis is defined as the presence of a cleft in the vertebral body on a lateral X-ray image in the sitting position at 1 year after admission. Of the total 684 pa...

Appropriate use of FRAX reduces the number of people requiring DXA scans, while contemporaneously determining those most at risk. We compared the results of FRAX with and without inclusion of BMD. It suggests clinicians to carefully consider the importance of BMD inclusion in fracture risk estimation or interpretation in individual patients. FRAX i...

In a characterization of treatment rates and healthcare costs among patients with an osteoporotic-related fragility fracture overall and by site of care, costs were high and treatment rates were low. Osteoporotic fractures can be debilitating, even fatal, among older adults. The cost of osteoporosis and related fractures is projected to increase to...

The burden and mechanisms of endocrine therapy-related bone loss have been studied in detail. However, there is limited data regarding cytotoxic chemotherapy's impact on bone health. There are no definitive guidelines for bone mineral density (BMD) monitoring and treatment with bone-modifying agents during cytotoxic chemotherapy. The study's primar...
