dc.description.abstract | Summary The current study investigated subsequent fracture risk following a forearm fracture in three country of birth
categories: Norway, Europe and North America, and other countries. Subsequent fracture risk was modestly higher in
Norwegian-born individuals compared to the two other groups. Secondary fracture prevention should be recommended
regardless of country background.<p>
<p>Background Fracture risk is higher in patients with a previous fracture, but whether subsequent fracture risk differs by origin
of birth is unknown. This study explores subsequent fracture risk in patients with an index forearm fracture according to
region of birth.
<p>Methods Nationwide data on forearm fractures in patients≥18 years in 2008–2019 were obtained from the Norwegian
Patient Registry and Statistics Norway. Index fractures were identified by ICD-10 code S52, whereas subsequent fractures
included any ICD-10 fracture code. Data on country of birth were from Statistics Norway and included three regional
categories: (1) Norway, (2) other Europe and North America and (3) other countries. Direct age standardization and Cox
proportional hazard regression were used to analyse the data.
<p>Results Among 143,476 individuals with an index forearm fracture, 35,361 sustained a subsequent fracture. Norwegian-born
forearm fracture patients had the highest subsequent fracture rates (516/10,000 person-years in women and 380 in men).
People born outside Europe and North America had the lowest rates (278/10,000 person-years in women and 286 in men).
Compared to Norwegian-born individuals, the hazard ratios (HRs) of subsequent fracture in individuals from Europe and
North American were 0.93 (95% CI 0.88–0.98) in women and 0.85 (95% CI 0.79–0.92) in men. The corresponding HRs in
individuals from other countries were 0.76 (95% CI 0.70–0.84) in women and 0.82 (95% CI 0.74–0.92) in men.
<p>Conclusion Individuals born outside Norway had a lower subsequent fracture risk than Norwegian-born individuals; however,
subsequent fracture risk increased with age in all groups. Our results indicate that secondary fracture prevention should be
recommended regardless of region of origin. | en_US |
