Short time-frame from first to second hip fracture in the Funen County Hip Fracture Study

Abstract: Few hip fracture patients experience a second hip fracture and when they do, it is within a short time-frame from the first. The risk of sustaining a second hip fracture is high during the first 12 months following the first hip fracture, decreasing to a level equal to or below the incidence of the first hip fracture after this 12-month period. Preventive strategies at the time of the first hip fracture should therefore aim at immediate effects, as interventions with effects after 12 months (men) and 19 months… Show more

“…This is consistent with the clinical audit of the FLS programme at Glasgow, 127 and an extraordinarily high risk of early second hip fracture in a large Danish study. 128 The high rate of early refracture combined with the delayed onset of fracture risk reduction associated with therapies recommended or dispensed within the orthogeriatric and FLS models of care studied here may have contributed to our finding of no impact on refracture risk. In order to detect whether or not the interventions had an impact on longer-term refracture risk, we carried out a post-hoc analysis of second hip fracture risk, in which extended follow-up (when possible) and a time-varying hazards model were used to focus only on risk in the second and third years after a primary hip fracture.…”

“…Several studies have examined the risk of a second hip fracture associated with a previous hip fracture and have suggested that the risk is highest in the first few years after fracture and subsequently decreases or plateaus. (12)(13)(14)16,29) However, there are conflicting data regarding whether other fractures might cease to become an important risk factor for future fractures. Data from a population-based cohort in Denmark report that patients with a history of hip fracture had a higher relative risk of future hip fracture than controls for 5 years after fracture but was no longer significant 15 years after the first fracture.…”

“…(10) Similarly, the time since prior fracture may be important because several studies have suggested that the relative risk of subsequent fracture associated with an index fragility fracture is greatest in the first few years after fracture and that this risk declines over time. (12)(13)(14) However, other data suggest that the risk of a second fracture, particularly hip fractures, may not decrease over time. (15,16) The importance of time since index fragility fracture as a modifier of future fracture risk has implications for the immediate management of patients presenting with fragility fractures.…”

“…For example, a large meta-analysis showed that a prior fracture history was a significant risk factor for hip fracture at all ages but was highest at younger ages and decreased progressively with age [3]. Several studies have examined the time course of second fractures by site following an index fracture [6][7][8][9][10][11][12]. Fracture at the hip, forearm, spine or humerus (collectively termed major osteoporotic fractures) have been less frequently studied but (apart from rib fractures) comprise approximately 90% of the morbidity due to fracture [13,14].…”
