Mortality risk after the first occurrence of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures in the general population: A nationwide cohort study
This study aimed to evaluate mortality risk after the first occurrence of OVCF in the general population using a nationwide dataset from the Korean National Health Insurance System. We identified 291,203 newly diagnosed patients with OVCF and 873,609 patients without OVCF at a ratio of 1:3 matched by sex and age between 2010 and 2012. We investigated the latent characteristics of patients’ demographic information and chronic comorbidities that could affect mortality when diagnosed with OVCF. By comparing the cohort data, the hazar d ratio for subsequent mortality in patients with OVCF was calculated and adjusted based on...
