Epidemiology of Bone Fracture in Female Trauma Patients Based on Risks of Osteoporosis Assessed using the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians Score.

ABSTRACT: Background: Osteoporotic fractures are defined as low-impact fractures resulting from low-level trauma. However, the exclusion of high-level trauma fractures may result in underestimation of the contribution of osteoporosis to fractures. In this study, we aimed to investigate the fracture patterns of female trauma patients with various risks of osteoporosis based on the Osteoporosis Self-Assessment Tool for Asians (OSTA) score. Methods: According to the data retrieved from the Trauma Registry System of a Level I trauma center between 1 January 2009 and 31 December 2015, a total of 6707 patients aged ?40 years and hospitalized for the treatment of traumatic bone fracture were categorized as high-risk (OSTA < -4, n = 1585), medium-risk (-1 ? OSTA ? -4, n = 1985), and low-risk (OSTA > -1, n = 3137) patients. Two-sided Pearson's, chi-squared, or Fisher's exact tests were used to compare categorical data. Unpaired Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U-test were used to analyze normally and non-normally distributed continuous data, respectively. Propensity-score matching in a 1:1 ratio was performed with injury mechanisms as adjusted variables to evaluate the effects of OSTA-related grouping on the fracture patterns. Results: High- and medium-risk patients were significantly older, had higher incidences of comorbidity, and were more frequently injured from a fall and bicycle accident than low-risk patients did. Compared to low-risk patients, high- and medium-risk patients had a higher injury severity and mortality. In the propensity-score matched population, the incidence of fractures was only different in the extremity regions between high- and low-risk patients as well as between medium- and low-risk patients. The incidences of femoral fractures were significantly higher in high-risk (odds ratio [OR], 3.4; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.73-4.24; p < 0.001) and medium-risk patients (OR, 1.4; 95% CI, 1.24-1.54; p < 0.001) than in low-risk patients. In addition, high-risk patients had significantly lower odds of humeral, radial, patellar, and tibial fractures; however, such lower odds were not found in medium- risk than low-risk patients. Conclusions: The fracture patterns of female trauma patients with high- and medium-risk osteoporosis were different from that of low-risk patients exclusively in the extremity region.

Project description:ImportancePrior research about the association between hysterectomy and osteoporosis risk had limitations.ObjectiveTo assess osteoporosis and fracture risk among female patients who underwent hysterectomy due to benign conditions.Design, setting, and participantsIn this retrospective cohort study, female patients aged 40 to 59 years with benign hysterectomy between 2003 and 2011 were selected from Korean National Health Insurance Data and matched by 1:1 propensity score with female patients who had health checkups and indicated that they had not had a hysterectomy. A Cox proportional hazard model was used to analyze osteoporosis and fracture risk, with participants monitored until December 31, 2020. Data analysis was performed from July 16, 2022, to January 12, 2023.ExposuresHysterectomy with or without adnexal surgical procedure.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was the risk of osteoporosis. Secondary outcomes included the risk of vertebral fracture, hip fracture, other fractures, and total fracture.ResultsThe study population included 25 910 patients; the median (IQR) age was 47 (44-50) years, and median (IQR) follow-up period was 10.9 (9.4-12.7) years. In the stratified-extended Cox proportional analysis, female patients who underwent hysterectomy without an adnexal surgical procedure were associated with a higher risk of osteoporosis within 7 years compared with female patients who did not undergo hysterectomy (hazard ratio [HR], 1.28 [95% CI, 1.19-1.37]); the analysis was divided into 7 years due to a violation of the Cox assumption, and the risk did not differ after 7 years (HR, 0.99 [95% CI, 0.93-1.06]). However, the hysterectomy group with an adnexal surgical procedure had an association with higher risk of osteoporosis compared with the nonhysterectomy group both within 7 years of study entry (HR, 1.56 [95% CI, 1.33-1.82]) and after 7 years (HR, 1.20 [95% CI, 1.04-1.40]). In the hysterectomy group without an adnexal surgical procedure, the risks of vertebral fracture, hip fracture, and total fracture were similar to those in the nonhysterectomy group. Similar trends were observed in the hysterectomy group with an adnexal surgical procedure.Conclusions and relevanceHysterectomy without an adnexal surgical procedure was associated with an increased osteoporosis risk within 7 years, but not afterwards, compared with the nonhysterectomy group. Hysterectomy was not associated with vertebral and hip fractures.

Project description:BackgroundThe incidence of breast cancer among younger East Asian women has been increasing rapidly over recent decades. This international collaborative study systemically compared the differences in age-specific incidences and pathological characteristics of breast cancer in East Asian women and women of predominantly European ancestry.MethodsWe excerpted analytic data from six national cancer registries (979 675 cases) and eight hospitals (18 008 cases) in East Asian countries and/or regions and, for comparisons, from the US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results program database. Linear regression analyses of age-specific incidences of female breast cancer and logistic regression analyses of age-specific pathological characteristics of breast cancer were performed. All statistical tests were two-sided.ResultsUnlike female colorectal cancer, the age-specific incidences of breast cancer among East Asian women aged 59 years and younger increased disproportionally over recent decades relative to rates in US contemporaries. For years 2010-2014, the estimated age-specific probability of estrogen receptor positivity increased with age in American patients, whereas that of triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) declined with age. No similar trends were evident in East Asian patients; their probability of estrogen receptor positivity at age 40-49 years was statistically significantly higher (odd ratio [OR] = 1.50, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 1.36 to 1.67, P < .001) and of TNBC was statistically significantly lower (OR = 0.79, 95% CI = 0.71 to 0.88, P < .001), whereas the probability of ER positivity at age 50-59 years was statistically significantly lower (OR = 0.88, 95% CI = 0.828 to 0.95, P < .001). Subgroup analyses of US Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results data showed similarly distinct patterns between East Asian American and white American patients.ConclusionsContrasting age-specific incidences and pathological characteristics of breast cancer between East Asian and American women, as well as between East Asian Americans and white Americans, suggests racial differences in the biology.

Project description:BackgroundThere is a lack of knowledge regarding the epidemiology of severe trauma assessed by Swedish emergency medical services (EMS).AimTo investigate the prevalence of trauma in Sweden assessed by EMS from a national perspective and describe patient demography, aetiology, trauma type, prehospital triage and clinical outcomes.MethodsData from two national quality registries, the Swedish Ambulance Registry and the Swedish Trauma Registry (SweTrau) were collected from January 1 to December 31, 2019. Inclusion criteria were an Emergency Symptoms and Signs code equivalent to trauma in the Swedish Ambulance Registry and criteria fulfilled for SweTrau inclusion. Exclusion criteria were patients < 18 years old, those not transported to a hospital and those without a personal identification number.ResultsIn total, 53,120 patients with trauma were included (14% of primary EMS missions involving a personal identification number). Of those, 2,278 (4.3%) patients (median age: 45 years; 32% women) were reported in SweTrau to have severe or potentially severe trauma (penetrating: 7%, blunt: 93%). In terms of including all causes of trauma, the code for 'trauma alert activation' was most frequent (55%). The most frequent injury mechanism was an injury caused by a car (34%). Most (89%) cases were assigned Priority 1 (life-threatening condition) at the dispatch centre. 62% were regarded as potentially life threatening upon EMS arrival, whereas 29% were assessed as non-life-threatening. Overall, 25% of the patients had new injury severity scores > 15. 12% required invasive treatment, 11% were discharged with severe disability and the 30-day mortality rate was 3.6%.ConclusionIn this cross-sectional study, 14% of the primary EMS missions for one year were caused by trauma. However, only a small proportion of these cases are severe injuries, and the risk of severe disabilities and death appears to be limited. The most frequent aetiology of a severe trauma is injury caused by a car, and most severe traumas are blunt. Severe traumas are given the highest priority at the dispatch centre in the vast majority of cases, but nearly one-third of these cases are considered a low priority by the EMS nurse. The latter leaves room for improvement.
