Association between incident falls and subsequent fractures in patients attending the fracture liaison service after an index fracture: a 3-year prospective observational cohort st... by Piet Geusens, Jacqueline R Center, Tuan V Nguyen, Thach Tran, Johanna Driessen, Joop P van den Bergh, John Eisman, Caroline E Wyers, Lisanne Vranken, Robert Y Van der Velde, Heinrich M J Janzing, Sjoerd Kaarsemakers, Dana Bliuc

“…An incident fall was associated with an approximately 9-fold (HR: 8.6, 95% CI 3.1 to 23.8) increase in the risk of subsequent fractures.Conclusion These data suggest that subsequent fractures among patients on treatment prescribed in an FLS setting are common, and that an incident fall is a strong predictor of subsequent fracture risk. Immediate attention for fall risk could be beneficial in an FLS model of care.Trial registration number NL45707.072.13.…”
