The risk of new fragility fractures in patients with chronic kidney disease and hip fracture —a population-based cohort study in the UK

ConclusionsThe risk of a subsequent major non-hip fragility fractures following hip fracture was not increased in patients with CKD G3 –G5 compared to eGFR>  60 ml/min. Mortality risk was higher in both hip fracture and non-hip fracture patients with CKD G4 and G5. The higher mortality risk may, as competing risk, explain our main finding of no increased or even decreased subsequent fracture risk after a hip fracture in patients with CKD G3–G5.
