The risk of new fragility fractures in patients with chronic kidney disease and hip fracture-a population-based cohort study in the UK Hasselt University
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a risk factor for fractures. However, in hip fracture patients, CKD G3-G5 was associated with a higher mortality risk and not associated with a higher risk of subsequent non-hip fractures compared to eGFR > 60 ml/min. The higher mortality risk may, as competing risk, explain our findings. Introduction Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a known risk factor for fragility fractures. Patients aged 50+ with a recent ...
