Funded Activity Summary

Osteoporosis is a common problem with increased premature mortality associated with hip and even more minor fractures. The cause of increased mortality is debated although osteoporosis treatment may decrease this risk. This study will be the first to examine survival of all subjects in NSW admitted for a fracture including cause for subsequent hospitalisation and treatment taken. This study will help define the cause of the mortality and the role of anti osteoporosis treatment on outcome.
